A number of other skill prizes were also awarded in categories such as closest to the pin on Hole 3 and straightest drive on Hole 7. Offered on Hole 18 was a hole-in-one prize, which was a 2015 Chrysler 200, courtesy of Maple City Dodge.
The names of the members of the top three teams are as follows:
First place: Matt Heller, Jeff Wilcox, Walt Heller, and Craig Heller.
Second place: Joe Karpinski, Mike Kurtz, Ed Karpinski, and Matt Kurtz.
Third place: Troy Morehouse, Andrew Heslink, Steve Wintersteen, and Rick Prindle.
All proceeds from the tournament benefited the Alfred State Development Fund, Inc., which raises funds for the college, primarily for student scholarships. Numerous organizations, businesses, and individuals supported the event, either through volunteering, sponsorship, or donating prizes.
