Eatontown - On June 8th, 2009, CPC Behavioral Healthcare hosted its 17th annual Spring Invitational Golf Tournament at Hollywood Golf Club and raised $62,000 in net proceeds to support children and families in emotional crisis. This CPC fundraiser, led by Honorary Chairman Maury Povich of Middletown, continues to be a successful link to the business community.  In total, 31 sponsors - companies and individuals - along with 94 golfers supported the agency's mission of caring for children, teens, adults and families. Celebrating 49 years of community care, CPC Behavioral Healthcare is one of the largest outpatient community behavioral health centers in Monmouth County.

Every level of golfer can learn something from a pro. Peter Kostis, one of the game's most respected teachers, shared his knowledge at a special demo. Kostis began his demo with a series of common shots. Humorous in nature, each shot illustrated how a golf ball can easily bounce, dribble and skip off the tee.

Kostis, CBS sports commentator and author of Inside Path to Better Golf, is recognized worldwide for his teaching abilities. He has instructed golfers including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Kite, Mark Calcavecchia, Davis Love III, Bernhard Langer, and Jumbo Ozaki.

With a smile on his face, Kostis proceeded to describe the essence of the perfect golf swing. Each swing, whether with a driver, iron or putter, must be in the present. So you shouldn't be thinking about your last swing or how your next swing will affect the scorecard. Ideally, make it feel like a practice swing. Why? "Because you are less tense, identify how this swing feels and repeat it."

CPC's Spring Invitational Committee, led by co-chairs Paul Drobbin, of Holmdel and James Warshauer of Rumson, acknowledged the vital role of the Committee, "For the past 21 years, our committee members have been instrumental for the continuing success of this fundraiser for CPC." "This tournament enables CPC to provide programs for economically disadvantaged children, teens and families who need help with emotional or behavioral problems and might otherwise not get such help," said Drobbin.
