Pete was awarded the Distinguished Service Award from the Golf Association of Philadelphia last evening.




Well done fine Sir, richly deserved for your service to Philly golf.

   Total class. Dined with him and Ted McKenzie in the DR a few years ago. I will remember it; he won’t.

Congratulations to Pete!!!! I was lucky to get a trip around LuLu a while back with Pete and his son Mike. I can’t recall meeting a more gracious and knowledgeable guy in the game of golf. He still plays beautifully and is both fun to watch and be around. :)

We had a great dinner last night thanks to GAP.  Many of Dad’s friends since he first arrived in Philadelphia in 1962 were able to attend.


Dad gave a great speech where he explained with terrific examples about how when he first arrived in Philadelphia he quickly saw that the golf community in Philadelphia was unique. There were Masters and PGA champions in the Monday events as an example.


He also did a great job paying tribute to mom and many other of our guests.


Award was primarily for his work on capturing, recording and sharing the history of golf in Philadelphia with the community.

I had family in from AZ and couldn't attend, unfortunately.

Above is a link to Dad’s acceptance speech. It’s just under 30 minutes but he covers a lot of ground. On thing he regrets forgetting to say is that in the future Joe Bausch and Mike Cirba will be fitting winners of this award too when Cobbs Creek is complete.


Nice job by The Golf Association of Philadelphia all around, just shows why there is no better golf association than ours.
