Second Annual Swing for Honduras was a Huge Success!
On a beautiful afternoon with the fall foliage shining in all its glory, Honduras Children's Project held our Second Annual Swing for Honduras Golf Tournament on Sunday, October 13, 2013 at Indian Springs Golf Course in Middlefield. The competition was a nine-hole scramble style tournament with best of each shot selected. In this type of competition strategy is key and teamwork moves to the forefront. Nine foursomes came out to play, including last year's championship foursome of Jay and Liz Conroy and Mark and Annie Jungels. The competition was intense and hotly contested, but fun with a team of teachers from Hopkins School in New Haven pulling out the win on the last hole - Lars Jorgensen, Ian Clark, Steve Clark and Pete Swan. A well-deserved second place went to their students - Davey Proctor, Jason Hagani, Brian Kitano, Arnav Singh and Shivan Patel.
Other competition winners were Jay Conroy – Closest to the Pin, and for the second year in a row, John Keily – Closest to the Line.

We are grateful for the help of our many volunteers, including (in no particular order) Kathy, Courtney, Tristan, Kelly, Christine, Josh, Marye and Skippy. Without them, we would not have been able to hold such a successful golf tournament.
