(May 9) – The Dallas Bar Association (DBA) hosted its 23rd Annual Pro Bono Golf Classic last week at Brookhaven Country Club and raised more than $40,000 for the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program (DVAP).

The money raised by more than 40 law firms, foundations, corporations and individuals will be used to help provide free legal services to low-income residents. The DVAP, a joint initiative of the DBA and Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, serves approximately 3,475 Dallas families.

Treyson Brooks, chair of the DBA’s golf tournament committee, said the 106 golfers that participated in the annual tournament were the most in several years.

“Last year, the weather was terrible,” said Brooks, a litigation attorney at Quilling Selander. “We were out there in forty degree weather. But this year, it was beautiful.

“It went off without a hitch.”

While the tournament recognized winning teams in four different categories, the foursome of Rance Bryson, David Vereeke, Grady Chandler and Zack Miller took home the day’s top prize – 1st Place Gross 1st Flight.

Other winners included:

– Ed Fiducia, Tony Bautista, Chris Joe and Sean Newbold – 1st Place Gross 2nd Flight

– Peter Hagen, Dennis Muron, Larry Bowman and Hunter Allen – 1st Place Net 1st Flight

– Matt Kellogg, EJ Janik, PJ Hines and Will Pryor – 1st Place Net 2nd Flight

  • My Five Favorite Books: Melanie Koltermann (General Counsel at Five Star Management) - My reading habits have changed dramatically over the years. Where I once lingered over actual hard copy books late at night, these days I “read” mostly on the move. I now listen to my books, filling the hours I spend driving to/from work and after dropping of the kids for their many events. What might once have felt like idle time has become some of my most rewarding reading time, and I’ve grown to love how stories accompany me in the car. Much like my taste in music, my reading choices are eclectic and all over the place. I rarely stick to one genre or style, preferring instead to explore whatever captures my curiosity at the moment.
