Deer Creek Golf Club in Overland Park was the new location for the event that had 142 golfers in attendance. MH-MA President Phil Baniewicz, pleased with the turnout had this to say. “What a beautiful day and beautiful location for this great event. I want to give thanks to many of our alums who traveled quite a distance to join us.”
Hungry golfers were treated to cinnamon rolls before hitting the links. At noontime there were plenty of Italian sausages made from the secret recipe of the Amino Brothers, longtime Maur Hill Prep benefactors. Alums gathered at the after event party at Tanner’s Bar and Grill on Metcalf. Garin Nolan and the 306th Road Band was on hand to play music into the night.

After several years of rainy, blustery tournaments the sun was king at the 30th Anniversary of the Bob Goalby Golf Open May 6. The other king? That would be Kevin Pierce ’93 who won $10,000 with his hole-in-one on hole #4. Kevin and his wife, Lindsey, are expecting a baby in September so they were pretty excited to win. Kevin came from Wills, TX to be with us that day.
