Mark Barrett, at left with three MasterCard exec’s, represented Taylor Design at the 18th Annual MasterCard Charity Golf Outing on September 16th. The event was held at Leewood Golf Club in Eastchester, NY, an 18 hole gem opened in 1922 and designed by famed golf course architect Devereaux Emmet. Leewood’s rich history dates back to some of its earliest members, including New York Yankee slugger Babe Ruth and famed movie director D.W. Griffith. A good time was had by all, with proceeds benefitting The First Tee of Connecticut, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Ronald McDonald House and the MasterCard Manhattanville Scholarship Fund. PGA great Curtis Strange acted as the Ambassador of Golf for the day.
