The 46th Annual Golf Tournament, Prep’s longest-running fundraiser, welcomed generations of Prep alumni and their guests to Forest Hill Field Club in Bloomfield, NJ on June 10.
The event boasted two shotgun tee-offs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, for 18 holes on a challenging par 71 Tillinghast-designed course.
In addition to friendly competition and camaraderie, participants enjoyed meals at the clubhouse and outdoor patio; access to an Olympic-sized swimming pool between gameplay; on-site cigar rolling; and more.
As the day concluded, everyone gathered for a buffet dinner, awards ceremony, and the drawing of the annual Super 50/50, the winner of which took home more than $7,500.
John Alexander secured the overall winner’s trophy, the coveted Wagner Cup, presented in memory of longtime tournament participant Marcel E. Wagner, ’56.
