New Jersey Young Insurance Professionals hosted its 19th annual Golf Open Monday, July 20, at Fox Hollow Golf Club in Branchburg. More than 120 insurance professionals from across the state met for golf and networking on the picture-perfect summer day. Michael's Feat, a nonprofit organization established to support, comfort and ease the burdens of the parents caring for seriously ill newborns, was the recipient of this year's mulligans as well as a "Go for the Green" contest. A total of $1,345 was presented to Adam Puharic for Michael's Feat.
