The first round of play in our Handicap Tournament is underway…Thanks to Bent Creek for hosting us! We appreciate their support and all the work that goes into hosting us each week! Special thanks to Jody Clark, Dot Peck and Shari Zeimetz for their efforts in setting up and managing this wonderful event! You are AWESOME!
Two of the matches went to 19 holes. Full results are available on our website. Congratulations to all our winners today. Those who lost their match today will leave the competition and can participate as NITs. MAKE SURE THAT YOU SIGN UP FOR FUTURE PLAY DAYS IF YOU DID NOT WIN YOUR MATCH…
Next week we play at St. John’s Golf and Country Club. Our final round and shoot-out will be contested at Golf Club of Amelia Island. Good Luck to all who are still in the tournament! And thank you to all the Players who were able to commit to three weeks of tournament play.
Charity Endeavor: Thank you to Shauna Snyder for handling our charity endeavor this season. The On Course Foundation leverages the tenets of golf as a recovery vehicle for wounded, injured and sick veterans. It conducts programs coast to coast teaching its “members” how to play golf and business skills for careers in the golf industry. On Course Foundation then places members in golf jobs with Callaway, Invited (formerly ClubCorp), golf product manufacturers and service providers, and golf courses, country clubs and resorts. There are more than 2,000 members in the U.S. and abroad. The donation box will be placed at the registration desk each week of play. Additional information is available at www.oncoursefoundationusa.org. If you wish to donate, a donation box will be available on the registration table each week. Please make your check payable to On Course Foundation or you can contribute cash as well. We also have a fundraising tournament scheduled for Wednesday, October 30 at Fernandina Beach Golf Course. There will be fun silent auction items available that day. Don’t miss the opportunity to contribute to this amazing organization! We will continue to accept your generous donations until the Christmas meeting in December.
