HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with social distancing guidelines that have limited public gatherings, golfers from across the nation gathered on a cool summer morning here for the very popular and highly anticipated Chicago Plast Golf Classic held at the Hilldale Golf Club on September 19.
For the past two decades more than a thousand people have taken part in the annual event. This year, despite a two-week postponement because of a severe thunderstorm that included tornado warnings, participants nonetheless made the trip from all corners of the country. They came from California, Colorado, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Florida in order to be a part of the 22nd annual charity golf tournament and festivities hosted by the Chicago-based Pobratymy fraternity of Plast Ukrainian Scouting Organization.
