Waveny announces its last call for golfers, tennis players and sponsors to participate in the seventh annual “Swinging for Seniors” Golf & Tennis Outing scheduled for this Monday, May 18 at the Country Club of New Canaan.

Golfers will also have several hole-in-one opportunities on the course with prizes including a 2009 Traverse courtesy of Karl Chevrolet Hummer, and $10,000 cash sponsored by Stronghold Insurance & Financial Services.
