Lammie Open Raises Funds for FL Delta
The weather man predicted rain but somehow not one drop fell during a beautiful day at the 3rd Annual Lammie Open held on May 16th, 2009 at Bonaventure in Weston, Florida. The weekend kicked off with a Friday evening of pizza and wings at Anthony’s in Aventura enjoyed by some 40 friends, some of whom were unable to attend the Open. While the team The Eagles Have Sanded (Nicholas "Love Sponge" Jackowski, Keith "Disco Stu" Kimmel, Kevin "Sweet Cheeks" Conneran, and Steve "First Base" Dombkowski) posted the lowest score including an ace by the Love Sponge, the big winner was Florida Delta. A huge thank you to every hole sponsors.
With the 3:00 O’Clock Club leading the way, we raised $3,536 after expenses to help the house with their upcoming painting, landscaping, and recruiting efforts for the fall. The proceeds will help complete the third phase of the FL Delta house renovations. The third phase will replace the roof and façade of the house. The renovations will keep the FL Delta chapter competitive among the 25 Fraternities at the University of Florida.
Dan Aaronson and Jamie Benjamin once again arranged for lots of shirts, hats, visors, and gift certificates from several local adult establishments. Andy and Robin Behrman provided the refreshments. Robin and her daughter Jennifer were instrumental in hosting the Beat The Pro Hole where the “pro” Jeffrey Navarro graciously donated his winnings to the cause. Tom Stark offered to let us play at his golf course in Stuart (thanx Tom but it was too far away) and donated eight rounds of golf. And last but not least many thanks to Lisa Lipp who made the signs, the name tags, the margaritas and pina coladas, the T-shirts, and the trophies.
The Lammie Open was started in 2007 by George “Moe” Lipp, PC ’70. The golf tournament has over 100 participants mostly from the FL Delta chapter at the University of Florida. The Open raises funds through hole sponsors and registrations.
