Golf Outing Creates Bond Between Fathers and Sons

The fifth annual Ketcho’s Father Son Golf Outing once again brought fathers and sons from Hasbrouck Heights together for a day of bonding while also raising money for a good cause.

Forty fathers and sons took part in this year’s event once again held at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort on July 21.  Height’s Kevin Ketcho originally started this outing as a way to spend some time bonding with his two sons Zach and Kevin.

Now over the past few years it’s continued to grow with more and more fathers and sons joining in which inspired Ketcho to turn into a fundraising event as well. This year the outing raised more than $600 towards the Carl Inserra Leukemia Fund, twice the amount the event raised last year, Ketcho said.

Ketcho said the day consisted of a full breakfast in the River Room, a great day of golf, and an all afternoon BBQ Awards Ceremony where $3,000 worth of prizes and raffled gift items were given out to participants.

Ketcho says the event could not be possible without the many local businesses who sponsored the event: Inserra Supermarkets (Lodi Shop Rite), Costa Memorial Home, Liquor Master, Bergen Funeral Services, Crows Nest, Spindlers Bakery, Heights Pizza, Ramsey Auto Group (Paramus Mitsubishi) , Noone Company, Al Di La Restaurant, Hair Trendz, TGI Fridays, New Balance, The Art of Shaving, Heights Beer & Wine Emporium, Heights Bar & Grill, Modern Propane,  Lite & Creamy Cheesecake By Fred, Route 46 Liquors, Golf Galaxy, Golf Tech Swing Evaluation, GolfSmiths, Paul Meseck Golf Lesson, Valley National Bank, TD Bank, and Houlihans.
