The Women’s Bar Association of Illinois hosted its 27th Annual Golf Outing at Glenview Park Golf Club on August 4, 2023. This year’s outing proved to be another great success including skills challenges, raffle prizes and a cocktail reception complete with an awards ceremony to honor all of the winners. A highlight of the day was the introduction of our new and very popular skills game, Warm Up, Wine Down, where bottles of wine and liquor were placed on the putting green and players putted to try to hit a bottle. If you hit a bottle, you win the bottle! Hon. Eileen O’Connor took home an exquisite bottle of Veuve champagne, which was well-deserved after a long day of competition on and off the course!
Players brought their competitive best, with WBAI President Whitney K. Siehl’s all women team taking home the prize for Top Women’s Team.
Other awards went to:
Best Dressed Male: Honorable Marty Moltz
Best Dressed Female: Sarah King
Closest to the Pin Women: Emily Holdway
Closest to the Pin Men: Gabe Aprati
Longest Drive Women: Megan O’Connor
Longest Drive Men: Joe Giannelli
Longest Putt Women: Paula Holderman
Longest Putt Men: Matt Bloomfield
The co-chairs of the Golf Outing (Kim Brancato, Kelly Sabo Gaden, Tracey L. Schroeder, Whitney K. Siehl, Molly Condon Wells) would like to thank all of the generous sponsors and raffle prize donors for their support of the WBAI and for making the event another great one. We look forward to seeing you on the course for our 28th Annual WBAI Golf Outing on August 2, 2024! Register at: bit.ly/3yY5SEa
