About the Poppa Lou
Golf Classic

History

The Poppa Lou Golf Classic was begun in
1995 following the passing of Louis Parsons,
the father of Buffy, Mickey, Arlene, Irene and
Dennis Parsons, by event founders Bart
Leverich and Jerry Cross and organizers
John & Buffy (Parsons) Whiting.

The event was to be a tribute to "Poppa Lou's"
love of family and friendship to all who he
came in contact with, with the intention to be as
much a celebration of family and friends, as a
golfing contest.

The format of the outing, a scramble allowing
teams to play the best golf shot of the foursome
encouraged the participation of family and
friends who had limited golf skill and to include
wives, girlfriends and children in the event.

Over the years the Poppa Lou has become one
of the most popular family events of the summer.
Much of the success of the event can be traced
to the emphasis on having fun and enjoying a
party with friends and family featuring the family
band, lead by family member Father Gunn, who
passed away in 2011.

The 2012 Poppa Lou is scheduled to be a
celebration of all those who have had an influence
on teaching the value of friendship and family, and
special tribute to Father Fran who meant so much
to so many and loved the Poppa Lou and the game
of golf.
