LIHUE—With only 22 golfers, the 60th Annual ILWU Statewide Golf Tournament was one of the smallest, in terms of participation, but scored big by bringing ILWU members together. Local 200 President John Bush flew all the way from Alaska to tee-up. This year’s tournament, hosted by Kauai Division, was played at Puakea Golf Course on October 12, 2013. The awards luncheon followed.
Kauai Division Business Agent and Co-Sports Coordinator Doreen Kua got to work announcing the winners and awarding the prizes to the golfers with the best scores. Philip “Toppy” Miyashiro from Unit 3515 - St. Regis Princeville, shot 79 to take the Fred Paulino Memorial Trophy for Overall Low Gross. Toppy also took the “A” Flight. Trenton Camat from Unit 3504 Princeville Resort (Golf Course) shot a net 60 to take the Francis I. Brown Memorial Trophy for Overall Low Net.
