11-6-2025
The sun was shining bright, but the temperature was down,down,down. Add in high winds off the New York harbor and it all added up to a tough day conditions wise on one of the tri-state areas premiere golf locations, Liberty National Golf Club.
The day marked as the first ever Pontecorvo Cup vs. NYPD. This tournament moving forward will showcase the best each team has to offer,battling it out under the shadows of Lady Liberty at the prestigious Liberty National. The opportunity was brought to us by James Halpin, a board member of the NYPD sports foundation as well as Liberty National, and Dan Fireman, the President of Liberty National Golf club. Their generosity and willingness to give us this opportunity is truly appreciated from the members of both teams. They truly rolled out the red carpet for us and we are very gracious for their efforts. The tournament is named after Dan Pontecorvo, a retired FDNY fireman. His son is partners with Mr.Halpin and their close bond was something that wanted to be celebrated. Look out for Mr. Pontecorvo Sr on the leaderboards for Bravest Golf this year.
The format was top 8 from each team. The best 6 scores combined would lead us to our winner. With how the conditions were, you were happy to get away with a bogey a lot of the time. The members battled through the frigid conditions with NYPD taking a lead to start. Bravest Golf midway through the match started making a comeback with a strong showing from our 2025 net season winner Nick Farda leading the charge. In the end NYPD continued its dominance in team play against Bravest Golf and were victorious in the first ever Pontecorvo Cup.
We look forward to next ears cup, hoping to have it in September in more optimal golf conditions.
