2001 Awards Presentation

This was our first annual GRBG Awards Night where we honored our top players from 2001. Master of ceremonies and club president Brion Brooks awarded plaques to our top 3 finishers from 2001. Top honors went to Michael Darooge for Player of the Year. Finishing second was club director John Drexel and third place went to Michael Kloian. Special awards went to John Sturak for being such a gracious and generous host and to Deb Hilliger, our favorite Garden Room waitress.
