It was a hole-in-one for New York’s Salaam Club, which hosted its annual golf tournament on Sept. 27.
The event, held at Marine Park Golf Course, raised money for a scholarship fund for Brooklyn high school seniors.

“I am trying to build the scholarship fund so that it is a great asset to the club, so that we can help applicants win significant amounts of money and give it to more applicants.” he said. “It was a fun and beautiful day. Ideally we would like to reach 100 golfers, but we are working towards that. We need the support of the community.”
