33RD ANNUAL VAN FLEET MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT

The Korea Society held its 33rd Annual Van Fleet Memorial Golf Tournament at the Baltusrol Golf Club on May 20.

We had a gorgeous day. Everyone enjoyed the lower course at Baltusrol Golf Club, as challenging as it was. It was also wonderful to see many friends and supporters of the US - Korea relationship who have contributed greatly to the Society’s mission of promoting greater awareness, understanding, and cooperation between the people of the United States and Korea.

This year, Mr. Drew Pohalski, Director of Golf at Nassau Country Club, received the Medalist Low Gross Van Fleet Memorial Award.

Other awardees include:
Mr. Casey Ceman (Low Gross 2nd Place Van Fleet Memorial Award)
Mr. David Maher (Low Gross 3rd Place Van Fleet Memorial Award)
Mr. Sang Soo Son (Low Net First Place Individual)
Ms. Sarah Meyers (Longest Drive Female)
Mr. Bobby Monahan (Longest Drive Male)
Mr. Byoung Hoon Lee (Closest to the Pin)
Mr. Michael Woods, Mr. Chris Jung, Mr. Chulho Huh, Mr. Drew Pohalski (Low Gross First Place Team)
Mr. David Maher, Mr. Sean Sullivan, Mr. Roger Czuchra, Mr. Steven Tishman (Low Net First Place Time)
The winner of the online raffle goes to Mr. Todd White.

All of the staff at the Korea Society deeply appreciate our tournament sponsors and in-kind donors for their generous support to the mission of the Korea Society. We look forward to seeing all of you at our 2025 golf tournament!
