HORSHAM, Pa. – Seventy-eight golfers from no less than five states competed on June 12 in the Ukrainian American Sport Center Tryzub’s annual golf outing. Notably, six of the golfers were women, five of them competing in the Tryzub tournament for the first time.
Limekiln Golf Club again presented the players with tremendous conditions, enhanced by a high blue sky, thin wisps of clouds and brilliant sunshine with warm, delicate breezes.
After golf, everyone gathered at nearby Tryzubivka for an awards banquet. Tryzub President Danylo Nysch welcomed everyone, thanked them for participating, and reminded them about any number of exciting sporting, cultural and social events at Tryzub. He then turned the program over to Tryzub’s golf director, Joe Homick.

Mr. Homick thanked his committee members – Roman Jarymovych, Andrij Zajac, Orest Lesiuk, Bohdan Anniuk, Gene Luciw and Alex Woloschuk – for their hard work and dedication. He then proceeded, along with Mr. Woloszczuk, to announce the following winners during another boisterous awards ceremony:

Each player received generous and thoughtful door prizes. A popular 50/50 raffle replenished the pool for next year’s tournament with $475. The winner of the draw, Mr. Nysch, donated his winnings towards enhancing next year’s door prizes. The sponsor for this year’s event was perennial supporter Fletcher-Nasevich Funeral Home.
Next year’s golf tournament will take place in June at a date to be announced. (Check Tryzub’s website for additional details and for upcoming events: www.tryzub.org.)
