Golfweek Amateur Tours
will donate a year end check to Stand up to Cancer at the Tour Championship. To
date we have raised over $79,000 around the country with Team Charlotte getting
ready to support the cause. For those of you new to the tour we started are
SUTC Team as a tribute to loosing one of our own Tour Directors at age 40 in
2008. Roger Mitterling had been a director for 12 years and when he got
diagnosed with cancer he was gone in less than 2 years. Also, I lost my mother
at 51 to Lymphoma and I know many of you have been touched by this terrible
disease.
We
will draw half the prizes Saturday day one at Irish Creek and then Sunday the
other half Sunday day two of the major. Tickets are $20 each and you can buy as many as you want. There
will be a button on the credit card payment page for easy payment or bring
check or cash to any of the tournaments. You do not have
to be present to win so please at least give on ticket a chance for the
cause.
Also
many tours last year did a 50/50 drawing for $10 a ticket. At Irish Creek day
one we should have 120 players so if everyone puts in just $10 ea we will have
$1,200 in the pot so $600 to the winner!
Prizes include:
Free
weekday Foursomes to all the courses we have played thus far in 2014!
Carolina
Lakes, Edgewater, Salisbury, Cowans Ford, Northstone, Stonebridge, Palisades,
Rock Barn, Warrior, Charlotte National and Irish Creek.
