The 1998 Theta Chi -Zeta Alpha Chapter reunion was held in Sharon,PA on Sat. June 13th. The Main event was our annual scramble golf tournament. The morning got off to a ruff start. As the weather, and Midget brothers were both causing quite a commotion. Brother John Kreuzer was abruptly removed from the Midget Brother line-up. Team captain Dan Angelucci said" he was just an honorary member(John) ,thus he could be removed at anytime." He was quickly replaced by Bob Bolt. Brother Kreuzer bellowed of his contract with the midget brothers. The litigation from this incident should be interesting in the coming months.
After the weather cleared up, all four teams headed onto the course. The line-ups were as follows:
After the first four holes the competition looked very tough. Early indication was that team#2 had taken the lead. James Dunn even tried to take out the competition with his powerful swing ,as hit almost Miller in his cart. A sudden thunderstorm came onto the course. We were told to get of the course by Tam-O-Shanter golf supervisors. We had a fun time racing to beat the rain to the club house. Golf was postponed for about 45 minutes as the storm blew over. However, it was a good time talking, and catching up with fellow brothers.
We all headed back to our positions, after the club officials gave us the ok to resume play. Hole #7 was our first of three challenge holes. At this hole, who every had the longest drive off the tee,would win one of the many prizes. Jeff Miller won this contest. Teammate Chuck Boylan estimated it to be at 330 yards. Club official have sent his club to the PGA offices for investigation at the request of team#2.
As the teams finished up the first nine holes the competetion was very tough. The scores all seemed very even.
On hole #11 the gallery of fans showed up. They were brothers Brenkus, Rusick, and Saboo. They help cheer on the teams, and offer valuable pointers. Especially Zeke, as he showed us his fantastic golfing abilities on the 12th tee.
Hole #14 was the second of our challenge holes. At this hole ,the object was to see which golfer could come closes to the pin (flag) off the tee. This was a par 3 , 115 yards. Brother Gorshin was the winner of this event.
