Football Alumni Golf Outing

On June 28, the Delbarton football program sponsored an alumni golf outing at Spring Brook Country Club to commemorate the upcoming 75th season of the storied program. Over eighty former Green Wave football players and coaches, from the Class of 1956 on, gathered to play 18 holes and fifty more alumni joined for dinner. “From start to finish, the day was a great success,” says Football Head Coach Brian Bowers. “Our football alums were so happy to celebrate the tremendous history that they helped build. At the same time, the guys were excited to learn more about what is happening in the program today and our vision for the future. The camaraderie was sky high all day long, and it was easy to see that we are all so proud to be part of this Delbarton football family.” Thank you to all alumni players who helped to launch the upcoming 75th season of Green Wave Football!

The annual Carter Cup was played at Baltusrol Golf Club on July 27 and attracted a great group of young golfers. This MGA’s Junior Stroke Play Championship, an invitational event open to juniors 18 years of age or younger and who have not yet entered college, is named in honor of Michael P. Carter ’00, an accomplished junior player and standout member of the Delbarton golf team. Carter was a junior club champion at both Baltusrol and Winged Foot, and was a promising player on the golf team at Penn State University when he passed away in a car accident in 2002. This year, Nathan Drogin of Essex Fells, NJ, came from six strokes back during the final round, tying a Carter Cup record, to claim the 19th annual event at Baltusrol Golf Club.
