The 19th Annual Crypto Cup Golf Tournament was held on Thursday, September 24, 2020 at the Compass Pointe Golf Courses, in Pasadena. As a result of COVID, this year's event was a little different from prior years, so that our 120 players could safely enjoy a day of fun and competition.
The day began at 7:30 a.m. with a Captain’s Choice format. Volunteers checked in golfers, distributed participant bags, and photographed the event. A mini version of the Mega-Putt Contest (sponsored by AT&T) was held before the tee-off with a representative from each team putting, and a $100 gift certificate going to winner Bob Reid, from Mantech.
This year, players enjoyed hot dogs delivered to them courtesy of CyberCore Technologies. The always popular and often entertaining Spy Hole was modified due to safety precautions, but players still had fun posing and showing off their masks. The AT&T team (Aaron Clevenger, Mark Paskowski, Earl Carbone, and Donald Holman) won prizes provided by CyberCore Technologies.
