PENN TWP — Experience counts — and Bucky Parisi and Bruce Cummings have plenty of it.

The two have more than 70 years of Butler Country Club membership under their belts combined. Cummings is 77 years old, Parisi 76.

And, together, they are champions of BCC’s annual Ox Roast Golf Tournament — 54-hole event held over the weekend, followed by a three-hole playoff of flight champions.

“After we were done, Bucky joked that if two guys our age could win it, the tournament wasn’t tough enough,” Cummings said.

Parisi actually started the Ox Roast tourney — a two-man best ball event — 30 years ago. He ran the tournament for its first 14 years.

“It began as a way to generate some revenue for the club,” Parisi said.

He teamed with Ralph Simons — father of late PGA golf pro Jim Simons — to win the Ox Roast tourney years ago. Parisi and Simons were teammates in the event for years.

Cummings said he and Parisi have been good friends for 30 years. This marked the first time they had teamed up for the Ox Roast.

“Bobby Jackson and I are the only two golfers to play in the Ox Roast tournament every year it’s been held,” Cummings said. “This is the first time I’ve ever won the thing. That was really fun for me.”

The duo are believed to have the oldest combined age of any winning team in the tournament’s history.

Parisi and Cummings carded a 3-over-par score through 54 holes to win their flight. Parisi scored his third career hole-in-one Friday, using a 6-iron on the No. 4, 145-yard hole.

He said it was his first hole-in-one in at least 10 years.

“All three of them have come on the same hole,” Parisi said.

The tournament featured nine flights — six two-man teams to a flight — for a 54-team field comprised of 108 golfers.

Each of the nine flight winners entered a playoff on Hole No.’s 13, 14 and 15, with every individual golfer’s score counting during the playoff.

“I chipped in for birdie from about 60 yards on one of those holes to begin the playoff,” Parisi said. “That just about deflated the other teams. It put them two strokes down right away.”

The final three teams played No. 18. Parisi wrapped up the title by sinking a six-foot putt.

Joe Cassidy and Dave Stapleton finished second in the tournament while Jim Lucas and Ira Handler were third.

“It’s always an extremely challenging tournament because the pin placements are set up to make it as difficult as possible on the golfer,” Parisi said. “With all of the rain we’ve had, the greens weren’t up to the speed they normally are.

“That allowed a couple of old guys like us to sneak in and win it, I guess.”
