This past Monday, June 6, over 140 WANADA dealers and kindred members gathered at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, VA. It was a picture-perfect day with azure blue skies, a light breeze and temperatures that never quite cleared 80 degrees. The capacity crowd was primed for a great day of golf and the 2022 WANADA Open did not disappoint.
WANADA President & CEO John O’Donnell, Chairman Chip Doetsch of Apple Ford and Special Events Committee Chairman Tom Parsons of B&R Associates kicked the day off with a few club giveaways before the golfers took their positions for the 12:00 noon shotgun start. With two foursomes on each hole it was sure to be a long round, even with the club provided fore caddies, but no one seemed to mind.
When the golfers returned to the clubhouse and the scores were tallied, the winners were announced as a foursome from Penney Design Group and Doyle Construction (Bortie Twiford, Ryan Tendall, Ed Metcalfe, Mike Doyle). The runners up were from Jim Coleman Automotive (Kevin Cohan, Greg Corbutt, Nate Cohan, Nick West) and third went to a group from JM&A (Megan Kenary, Paul Bruce, Eugene Kim, Alex Nowak).
Lots of great door prizes were also awarded. In addition to the usual golf swag, there were Yeti coolers, several high-end electronics and more. A 50/50 raffle of over $1,000 was also awarded, the proceeds of which went to benefit WANADA’s nonprofit technician training program. Finally, B&R Associates had a special “Beat B&R” event where players who shot better than B&R’s resident scratch golfer on their designated hole were likewise entered into a raffle, the lucky winner of which walked away with a cash prize.
