A new "tradition" at Soyuzivka: golf

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Another new "tradition" began at Soyuzivka during the week prior to Labor Day weekend, as a group of young Ukrainian professionals from near (Kerhonkson) and far (London, England) held a golf tournament. All the participants had a wonderful time and agreed to make this an annual event.

Enjoying the beautiful weather for which the Soyuzivka area is noted, a band of cheerful men age 10 and above set out to have some fun. The 16 of them got together one evening, chose partners at random, selected their fields of play and set off to delight in one of their favorite pastimes. The teams played the following courses: Nevele, Rondout Country Club, Apple Green and the newly refurbished Hudson Valley Resort (formerly the Granit).

At the end of an enjoyable week, the participants gathered in Soyuzivka's Trembita Lounge for an awards luncheon catered by the Q-Café. All participants were honored for their various accomplishments including:

• low team ball - Ihor Zwarycz and Bohdan Puzyk;
  
  
• low team net - Alexander Puzyk (age 10) and Andrij Kyzyk from London;
  
  
• longest drive (315 yards) - Taras "Tiger" Jaworsky;
  
  
• closest to the hole (9 feet) - Roman Hawryluk.

The second annual Soyuzivka golf tournament will be held at the same time of year in 1999. All are invited to participate.
