The Houston Arboretum’s ninth annual Arbor Cup, “A Round in the Woods,” raised more than $97,000 to support the Arboretum’s conservation and education programs. More than 130 golfers participated in the sold-out event at the Memorial Park Golf Course, which is now the home of the Houston Open. After an early lunch, players teed off with a four-person scramble format. Winners included Charlie Epps, Greg Sangalis, and Anne Thomson for closest to the pin; Cat Everett, Jamie Weaver, Dina Ormiston, and Fiona Guinn for longest drive; Men’s Low Net Team: Tim Brown, Ed Junell, Rob Paddock, and Doug Bech; and Women’s Low Net Team: Ruth Flournoy, Sally Meadows, Anne Thomson, Susan Miclette. Tournament chairs were Rick Burleson and Tim Neuhaus, and the host committee included Tom Caughlin, Gregory Cokinos, Ruth Flournoy, Devon Graham, Chuck Helms, Donyce Hussey and Bill Hussey, Ethel Hutcheson, J.W. Lodge, Weldon Martin, Greg Meece, Mosby Perrow, Matt Steitz and Debbie Yee.
