Under a beautiful sky, a record 120 golfers participated in the Club’s 31st Annual Charity Golf Tournament on September 17, 2022. Under the leadership of Ron Blackwelder, Kay Hughes, Ken Meyer, Bob Sanders, Ron Pugh and Monica Powell, more than 50 members of the Club volunteered to put on the Fall Classic at the Valley at Eastport.
Gold Sponsors of the event consisted of Walmart, Wyman Wise State Farm and the OD Shag Club itself. Our Silver Sponsors were Dr Edwin Styers, DDS, Elliott Realty and the OD Arcade. Also supporting the event were 24 individual hole sponsors. Numerous businesses and individuals donated raffle prizes that exceeded $6,500 in total value.
The Tournament was played as a “Captain’s Choice” with Mulligans available for purchase. In addition to regular play, all golfers were given the opportunity to participate in individual contests that included Closest to the Center Line, Closest to the Pin, Longest (Wiffle) Ball Drive and Putting. All participants were provided with a breakfast sandwich and donuts, a bag lunch and liquid refreshments.
In addition to raising much needed funds to support several charities, the Tournament provided a beautiful day of fun and camaraderie for golfers and volunteers alike. All who participated left looking forward to next year’s Tournament.
