For golf aficionados, nothing compares to a morning out on the links, which is why IBEW 1245’s annual Perry Zimmerman Golf Tournament continues to be one of the union’s most popular events year after year.

The weather couldn’t have been more idyllic as 102 union members and guests teed off at the 29th annual tournament, which took place at the Cypress Lakes Golf Course on Saturday, October 8.

“Usually when I’m out here it’s really windy, but today there’s no wind at all. It’s really perfect,” said IBEW Local 180 member John McMahon, who works as an inside wireman for Napa Electric. McMahon was invited by his neighbor, Local 1245 member Eddie Williams, to join the golf tournament this year.

“I’m having a great time,” he said as he watched his neighbor tee off.

The easy-play, 18-hole event is designed for experienced and novice golfers alike, and the “best ball” format fosters a true sense of camaraderie among the teams. While some arrived energized and ready to compete, others had a more laid-back approach, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed spending quality time with their friends, family and fellow union members.

While many of the players have been coming to the tournament for years, there were some who attended for the first time this year, including Local 1245 member Brandon Cardoza, who works for PG&E GC Gas Traffic Control out of Elk Grove

“I like golf a lot, and i thought it would be fun to be a part of the union’s golf tournament,” said Cardoza. “It brings everyone together, and it’s great to get a chance to meet new people.”

After a fun-filled morning on the course, the golfers headed to Weakley Hall for lunch, along with the all-important awards ceremony and exciting prizes. A hearty congratulations to this year’s winners:
