The Subcontractors Trade Association (STA) held their Annual Golf Outing on Monday, June 27, 2011 at the Cherry Valley Club in Garden City, New York.  Participants were treated to an elaborate brunch buffet in the club’s dining room before the shotgun start at 12:00 p.m.

110 participants representing more than 40 STA member companies were in attendance.  The golf game was followed by a cocktail hour, dinner and an awards ceremony where event and raffle winners received prizes.  The big winner of the day was Bruno Maiolo.  Playing in a foursome from Vanguard Coverage, Bruno shot a “Low Gross” of 75.  Jason Karbel of Woodworks Construction Company won for “Longest Drive” and Steve Lazzaro from Hellman Electric Co. won “Closest to the Pin.”  John Finamore of Jordan Panel Systems ignited controversy by using his own yellow ball.  John won “Most Accurate Drive,” which was later challenged by Golf Committee Chairman Randy Rifelli because of the yellow ball, but finally upheld by general consensus.

Coming in First Place for “Team Low Gross” was the foursome of Bruce Salmon from North Fork Bank, Steve Lazzaro from Hellman Electric Co., Andrew Richards from Kaufman, Dolowich & Schneider, LLP and Ron Eagar from Grassi & Co.  Coming in Second Place was the foursome of Jeff Rich from Wild Woman Co. and Bob Grande, Anthony Grande and Rob Grande of Romar Sheet Metal.  First Place “Team Low Net” went to Brad Mattes, Mike Checchi, Rich Cooper and Bob Schratzmeier of NYC SMACNA and Second Place went to Randy Rifelli, Bob Kemper, Dave Roberts and Bruno Maiolo of Vanguard Coverage.

The STA would like to extend a special thank you to Larry Roman of WDF, Inc. for providing $5,000 worth of sponsorships, which included a generous donation to their Gift Fund.  The STA would also like to thank all of those companies and individuals who contributed to the Gift Fund, or sponsored a hole, a green or an event.
