The competition consisted of Veterans representing the Philadelphia Section PGA, the New Jersey PGA Section and the Metropolitan PGA Section. Veterans from Team Bronx (L to R) (Mike Massie, Max Makarczuk, Sheldon Rector and Harris Keane) were joined by PGA Professional, Nick Novak (2^nd from the left) who was instrumental in teaching the HOPE program at the Section level.
