The Westfield Mayor’s First Annual Golf Outing came off as a success at Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune after having been rescheduled from August 21 to August 28 due to severe rain and flooding conditions and despite having the constant threat of inclement weather.

Everyone survived the outing and everyone had a good time.

Clark mayor Bob Ellenport captured the Longest Drive award, Helen Karamus won the Closest to the Pin by a Woman award and Norman "Dutch" Sevelle won the Closest to the Pin by a Man.

FEAR STRIKES OUT...
Reportedly, this little known golfer had to be lifted to his golf cart and awarded a free drop in the fairway after freezing over the ball.
