On the competitive side of the day's activities, the coveted Visceglia Cup for top foursome was garnered by Bob Streko, Rob Roselli, Jim Paterson, and Ted Brennan. In second place was the foursome of Robert Andersen, Craig Davenport, John Harrison, and Jeff Toia. Longest Drive honors went to Ed Walsh, Chris Carr and Jon Lefkowitz, and Closest to the Pin awards went to Ron Simoncini, George Reilly and Paul Rosen.
