A Brief History

The Finest Golf Society is a fraternal organization dedicated to creating a comfortable environment for the men and women of Law Enforcement to enjoy a round of golf with their peers in Law Enforcement.

Formed in 2006, the Finest Golf Society is registered with New York State and the IRS as a Not For Profit Organization. What started out as wishful thinking on an annual golf trip to Myrtle Beach, became a reality in February of 2006. That is when Patrick Donohue, Rich Conte, Dan Pizzuto and Billy Cranston formed the Finest Golf Society. On April 17^th, 2006, 48 golfers gathered at historic Van Cortland Golf Course to tee it up for the first ever gathering of the Finest Golf Society. Since that April day in 2006, the Society has grown in leaps and bound. In 2007, the Society averaged 70 golfers for each outing. Some of the courses the Society have played since in inception include:

West Point Military Academy Golf Course

The Links at Union Vale

Van Cortland Golf Course

Dyker Beach Golf Course

Timber Point Golf Course

Long Island National Golf Course

Crab Meadow Golf Course

Putnam National Country Club

Blue Hills Golf Course

In 2007, the Society headed down to Myrtle Beach South Carolina for it’s first ever road trip. 24 golfers went down to the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Golf Classic run by Dan Morphet and Finest Golf Society member John Vescio.

The Finest Golf Society remains committed to the philosophy of being a fraternal organization that encourages members to socialize, network and to establish friendships based on the common interests of law enforcement and the game of golf. In keep with the traditions of the game of golf, the Society is not for profit organization that will raise funds to donate to designated to worthy charities. With that in mind, the Society has chosen the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington DC as its designated charity. To date, the Society has donated over $5,000 to the DC Memorial.
