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.
