The 2018 Puttle Championship Winners!



The 2018 Puttle Championships were held during the Allentown Brew Works annual Cask Beer Fest on Saturday, March 10. The winners shown above are Marty Puzio of Highland Lakes, NJ (left) in the Golfer Division and Joe Morales, with his wife, Wendy, from Bethlehem, PA in the Non-Golfer Division.

Mr. Puzio posted an impressive score of 21, including four “1’s” on his card without including a “5” at any time. Many other Golfers gave chase throughout the excellent Fest, but could not move past Mr. Puzio to take the title. As is always the case, Mr. Puzio took home a Standard Puttle Kit, the “Tankard”, and a crisp new $100 Ben Franklin.

In the Non-Golfer Division, competition was quite intense with many side bets to be awarded as well. Mr. Gonzales, encouraged by Wendy, posted a very consistent score with several “4’s” early in his round but closed out with three “3’s” to win by one point. He was awarded the Standard Puttle Kit, the “Tankard”, and an equally crisp new $100 Ben Franklin.

Proceeds from the entry fees will be donated to the three Lehigh Valley Boys + Girls Clubs.
