Goat Hill news: Wallace boys win Tailgate Tourney
Brothers Joe and John Wallace took the Shelter Island Country Club (SICC) at Goat Hill’s Tailgate Tourney into the end zone Sunday with a team score of 36.
Close behind, but no cigar, were Ian Weslek and Bruce Taplin, who finished second with a 37. Weslek also won closest to the pin on No. 5. He was the only golfer in the field to land the green.
The Tailgate Tourney, SICC’s last official tournament of the season, marked the season opener for the NFL and many among the 40 golfers — a terrific turnout on an absolutely gorgeous day — wore their favorite NFL team colors. Linda and Artie Springer get added shoutouts for decorating their golf cart in dastardly Dallas blue and white (boo, hiss).
The SICC Tournament Committee — Ann Beckwith, Julia Best, Gordon Cantley and Mary Fran Gleason — thank all the golfers who played in the club’s tournament, the Flying Goat for putting on a great spread for the tailgate party, and the many generous businesses and Islanders who donated prizes for all the SICC tournament raffles this year.
