Oakmont Golf Experience
$4525Have you ever golfed on a top rated course? Now is your opportunity! One lucky threesome will have the chance to tee up with Robert Forte at Oakmont Country Club, rated the #5 country club in the country. In addition, the threesome will golf with Michael Lepore at LedgeRock Golf Club.
About Oakmont Country Club:
Few venues in the world of golf have the championship tradition of Oakmont. Introduced in 1903 by designer Henry Fownes, Oakmont Country Club has hosted more combined USGA and PGA championships than any other course in the U.S., including nine United States Opens, five U.S. Amateurs, three PGA Championships, and two U.S. Women's Opens.
Oakmont remains perhaps the most difficult course in North America, with 175 deep bunkers (personified by the Church Pews), hard and slick greens that slope away from the player, and tight fairways requiring the utmost precision. Oakmont was the site of "the greatest round of the 20th century": Johnny Miller's final round 63 at the 1973 U.S. Open. Golf Digest ranks Oakmont #5 in its most recent version of America's Top 100 courses.

About LedgeRock Golf Club:
LedgeRock Golf Club was conceived by its Founders at the turn of the 21st century to create the premier contemporary golf experience in Berks County. Indeed, it is a hidden gem among the many fine courses in southeastern Pennsylvania.
The Founders recognized that the finest golfing venues available to local golfers nearby required many to drive 30-45 minutes, whereas the location of LedgeRock would enable many to arrive at this Club in less than 15 minutes.
To implement their vision, the Founders acquired 212 contiguous acres of woodlands, farm land and former nurseries on beautiful rolling terrain, adjacent to a number of small, attractive residential developments southwest of Reading. Designed by Rees Jones, esteemed for his role as the "Open Doctor," LedgeRock is challenging but fair, based on Rees Jones' design principles, permitting the golfer to see the challenge ahead, to take dead aim at a reasonable tee shot target, and to select from more than one strategy to succeed in many cases.
LedgeRock's golf course opened in 2006. Since 2011, all of the elements of a first class golf club have been in place. We look forward to welcoming new members and guests.

Janet Papale Biography:
At the age of 16, Janet earned a spot on the coveted USA World Gymnastics Team in 1970. She competed in the World Games in Yugoslavia and the Hapoel Games. A severe knee injury ended her gymnastics career but not her spirit. As a student at Penn State, Janet re-invented herself and became a diver and eventually broke all of Penn State's Women's diving records on the 1 and 3 meter board. She earned her BS Degree in Physical Education while at Penn State. And she taught and coached Gymnastics at State College High School.
Janet has traveled all over the world, instructing & coaching, and she developed amateur gymnastics programs for Malaysia, Bermuda, and South Africa, as well as all over the Unites States. Eventually she found at home at the University of Pennsylvania where she became their first Gymnastics Coach. While at Penn, Janet did post-graduate work at the Wharton School of Business. She held her coaching position at Penn from 1976 to 1988, eventually retiring to enter the wide world of Real Estate, just one of her many passions today.
Janet still is a major producer in Real Estate while still managing to find the time to manage several properties, co-author a book with Vince (go to Invincible Books tab), do charity work, fund raising, and direct Vince Papale Promotions . . . not to forget still finding time to be the mother of two children Gabriella & Vincent. Truly a remarkable woman, Janet has a zest for simply helping others be their best.
About Atlantic City Country Club:
On Sept. 11, 1897 wealthy businessmen, mostly made up of AC Hotel owners, met at the Brighton Hotel to discuss the best options for catering to guests arriving to the resort. It was decided that the new game of "golf" was deemed the best plan of action. The name, Country Club of Atlantic City was chosen and land in Northfield was selected as the site. Its easy accessibility to and from the boardwalk hotels via a trolley line that ran from Atlantic City to Somers Point and Ocean City made it the perfect location.
The founding fathers determined that the course would be 18 holes in length and that a clubhouse would be started. Two-hundred members would be admitted. John Reid, the professional golfer brought in to survey the land decided that the bayside property would make the best holes and the subsequently, the first nine holes were completed rather quickly. While still under construction, the course and clubhouse officially opened on June 18, 1898, just in time for the summer season. There was great interest in the club from the beginning and golfers began to play before all 18 holes were completed. Learn more at accountryclub.com.
