The Korea Society is delighted to invite you to participate in our 20th Annual Van Fleet Memorial Benefit Golf Tournament to be held on Monday, October 18, 2010 at the prestigious Alpine Country Club in Demarest, New Jersey. As we celebrate the tournament’s 20th anniversary, we hope to make this our most successful golf tournament yet. It will be a great opportunity for our members, friends and sponsors to join together for a day of golf while they show their support for our programs.
The Korea Society’s 19th annual Van Fleet Memorial Golf Tournament, held on Monday, October 26, turned out to be one of the most successful in the event's nearly two-decade run. Seventy-eight golfers came out to the Alpine Country Club in Demarest, New Jersey, to support The Korea Society. Spectacularly crisp, clear fall weather made for an excellent game of golf. In a remarkable turn of play, two golfers—Soon Yong Hong and John Kwon—each scored holes-in-one, a first in tournament history. John Rodenburg won the Van Fleet Award for overall low individual gross, while the foursome of Yeon Hak Jeong, Seung-Dal Baek, Soon Yong Hong, and Jin Young Yang logged the low-net team score.
After an invigorating 18 holes, the players returned to the clubhouse to bid on silent-auction prizes provided by The Korea Society’s generous sponsors and also to get acquainted over dinner. Following dinner, the day’s exceptional players were recognized with awards:
Low Gross Individual – Van Fleet Award
