Centurions

Tom Fazio a big hit with the Centurions!

Tom Fazio, the legendary golf course designer, was the featured speaker at the Atlantis Golf Club at the Centurions Annual Cocktail Reception on Tuesday, January 19th.  Tom, affectionately called the 800-pound gorilla of golf course architecture, entertained the 125 guests with stories of how he got started in the business, about different golf courses around the country, and took the time to answer questions.   An added bonus was that each guest who attended and made a minimum donation of $100 received an autographed copy of Tom's book!

The Centurions, which was founded in 1994, is a group of men who raise money for capital expenditures and repairs at the Palm Beach Habilitation Center each year.    To-date they have raised over $1.2 million dollars. The money raised by the Centurion this year is earmarked for the Work Operations Department, to ensure that the Center can continue to train men and women with disabilities for community employment.

The Centurions, chaired by Otis Brown, include Sandy Beach, Bill Benton, Harry Kennedy, John Farmer, Carl Palmisano, Bobby Pastorius, Bryan Meumann, Bud Tuppen, David Stenson, and David Hawkey.
