Ballantyne CC
3/4/2019
117 Golfers battled it out on a chilly Monday afternoon at Ballantyne CC is South Charlotte. I'll say it again, Thank You to all those that purchase the 50/50 raffle tickets at each event. To date, we have raised over $1000 for our Charity of Choice, Stand Up to Cancer. We continue to introduce New members to our tour and many great courses in the Charlotte area. We also welcomed players from 3 neighboring tours.
