NCFA 2015 SCREW OPEN GOLF OUTING
by Dave Audia, Trustee
The 2015 NCFA Screw Open returned to Valleaire Golf
Club for the second year in a row and the event was again
a great success. The weather was warm, the beer was
cold, and the Winking Lizard
provided a delicious lunch and
dinner for the 58 golfers that
spent an after-noon drenched in
sun rather than rain, for the first
time in several years of this
event!
The American Ring and
Buckeye Fastener Teams went
head to head all afternoon vying
for the first place cash prize and
trophies donated by Solution
Industries. Both teams finished
with a score of 49, so it went to
the handicap hole tiebreakers to
declare the winner – and it was
American Ring taking home the
hardware!
The Buckeye Fasteners
Team finished as the runner up.
This was the second consecutive
year that these talented teams
finished first and second in this
event!
There were several
individuals awarded for their skill
shots during the afternoon round as well. Andy Nagy from
Solution Industries belted out the longest drive on Hole
#12 and chose the cash prize. This left Larry Kelly from
ASSOCIATION ARTICLE
Buckeye Fasteners to take home the Louisville Slug-gerstyle
bat, again donated by Solution Industries, for striking
the 2nd longest drive . Jim Costello stuck his shot on Hole
#8 closest to the pin to take
home that prize. Jim was also the
only golfer to sink the 50 foot
qualifier putt, which afforded him
a chance to try a 100 foot putt for
$10,000! Although that putt did
not find the hole, he gave it a
good run and did not leave it
short. Finally, there were 3 skins
awarded at the end of the round
– American Ring took 2 of those
and the team of Gary & Andy
Graham (National Threaded), Tim
Roach (EFC), and Scott Faidiga
(K-J Fasteners) took the other.
All golfers and non-golfers
were then invited to the pavilion
for a dinner of St Louis Ribs and
BBQ Half Chickens grilled by the
Winking Lizard – everyone did
their best to finish off the keg of
beer as well.
The NCFA would like to thank
all of our sponsors this year who
were once again acknowledged
with signs throughout the
course– and of course a big thanks to all who participated
in this event. All proceeds will benefit the NCFA scholarship
program, so we again say: Thanks to all!
