M&T Bank Wins 2019 GSSCC Business Golf Classic
The one hundred players in GSSCC's 2019 Business Golf Classic beat the heat and sunny weather last week as they

Argyle Country Club
. Competition was fierce. The M&T Bank team led by John Halley took first place honors with a score of 52, edging out the second place team by one stroke on the back nine. The Sandy Spring Bank foursome led by Fred Billig came in second, also with a total score of 52. Adventist HealthCare's White Oak Medical Center team came in third with a score of 53. EagleBank's Scott Reading and Joseph W. McCartin Insurance's golfer Hilary Fordwich won the Closest to the Pin Contests. Marlon Jones of the White Oak Medical Center foursome took home the Longest Drive award and Matt Liberman of Apex Home Loans won the Putting Contest with a single stroke getting his ball just 6 1/2 inches from the cup.
