UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. -- It was a change of scenery for the Ninth Annual Coquese's Drive for the Centre County Women's Resource Center, but the results were still the same, as the event raised nearly $20,000 on a gorgeous Friday (Aug. 12) afternoon at Mountain View Country Club.
Head coach Coquese Washington and the Coquese's Drive committee presented a check for $19,620 to Centre County Women's Resource Center (CCWRC) executive director Anne Ard. The 2016 total moved the overall total donated to $170,122 to the Centre County Women's Resource Center.
The winning foursome in the open division was comprised of Roger Alexander, Bob Cooley, Joe Ostroski and Carlos Wiley with an 18-under par 53. Gloria Brown, Patty Nellis, Peggy Smith and Genny Vanemon claimed top prize in the women's division with a 17-under par 54. Both divisions ended in a tie, with the USGA tie breaking procedure leaving Terry Cooper, Gary Filkins, Bill Martin and Todd Sloan second in the open division and Sue Cromwell, Karen Krupa, Traci Richardson and Joan Ritchie the runners up in the women's division.
The closest to the pin winners were Gary Filkins on the men's side and Genny Vanemon on the women's side, while Lissa Dochat, LeAnne Jeffries, Sharon Herlocher and Holly Salazer were noted as the Most Honest foursome on the afternoon.
