The fourth installment of the Aquinas College High School & St. Charles Preparatory School Golf Challenge was held at Riviera C.C. in Dublin on August 12 with 52 players taking part. The format consisted of foursomes of two-man teams playing a best- ball “Ryder Cup” style format. St. Charles came out victorious in the very hot competition and the course was in fantastic shape. This year the event was scheduled to take place a day before the St. Charles classes of 1960 and 1965 participated in their All-Classes Reunion Weekend. Lunch afterward allowed for warm friendship between the players from both schools. Also in attendance were several alumni who were not able to golf but were invited to share in the camaraderie afterward. The event brings together former students and alumni of both schools who graduated before 1965 (the year Aquinas closed it doors). St. Charles alumni director Louis J. Fabro hosted this year’s event with much appreciated assists from1957 graduate Butch DeMatteis who secured the location and helped recruit players along with John “Santa Claus” Mullin ’54.
