On June 9, 2010, the <strong>Long</strong> <strong>Beach</strong><br />
<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Officers</strong> <strong>Association</strong> held<br />
its 38 th Annual Charity Golf Tournament<br />
at the Navy Golf Course<br />
in Cypress. This worthwhile<br />
event is the largest annual contributor<br />
to the Memorial Widows<br />
Emergency and Scholarship Trust<br />
Fund. The fund is independent<br />
of the POA and managed by a<br />
group of trustees. The trust was<br />
created to devote and apply the<br />
funds directly and exclusively to<br />
the charitable or educational<br />
needs of <strong>Long</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> police officers,<br />
their dependents, families,<br />
and survivors.<br />
Robert Lopez, Sgt. D. Wood, Sgt. P Siavii and Dave Ruben<br />
Over the course of six hours, 152<br />
golfers (38 teams with four golfers<br />
each) tackled the course’s<br />
challenging 18 holes. In the end,<br />
the team consisting of Sergeant<br />
Don Wood, Sergeant Poe Siavii,<br />
and their friends Dave Ruben and<br />
Robert Lopez won with an amazing<br />
total score of 16 under par.<br />
Other big winners included:<br />
Closest to the pin winner:<br />
Lieutenant Dan Pratt<br />
<strong>Long</strong>est drive winner:<br />
Robert Lopez<br />
Straightest drive winner:<br />
Detective Mark Sisneros<br />
Most honest golfers:<br />
Retired Officer Roy Wade and<br />
friends; Shawn Baker, Erika<br />
Armstrong, and Greg Armstrong<br />
After the tournament ended,<br />
the golfers were welcomed to a<br />
great dinner and plenty of raffle<br />
prizes. POA Honorary Bill Lovelace<br />
held the winning ticket for<br />
the largest prize, and he walked<br />
away with a new 42-inch flat<br />
screen television.<br />
While the final bills are still being<br />
paid, we do know the tournament<br />
made a significant amount<br />
of money that the trustees can<br />
now use to help our officers during<br />
emergencies. We thank our<br />
volunteers for their time and the<br />
players for their generosity. We<br />
hope everyone had a great time.<br />
