The Lakewoodi Eesti Mängud golf tournament organized by Eesti Spordiliit USA attracted 38 players (32 men + 6 women) for a spirited competition at Lakewood Country Club.

Mother nature provided perfect  golf  weather to help celebrate ESTO sport, friendships, and culture at ESL's annual summer sports weekend.

It was especially remarkable to have our “19th Hole” get together at the Lakewood Estonian House.

 

Many thanks to the Lakewoodi Eesti Ühing who provided access to the outside bar area and had delicious hapukapsasupp and sandwiches waiting in the kitchen as players returned from finishing heir rounds.

 

Also, a special thanks to Urmas Kärner who provided our beverages for the gathering.

Awards and trophies were presented at the 19th Hole and  bragging rights for this year’s tournament go to:
Winner Low Gross – Jaani Tassa 76
Ladies Winner – Virve-Kai Bulla - 92
Senior Mens Winner – Valter Must – 87
Callaway Winner - Reino Truumees -73
Best New Youth golfer - Andrew Hubschmidt - 105
