UPDATE (5/6/2009): BECAUSE OF CURRENT COURSE CONDITIONS AND THE THREAT OF MORE RAIN THIS WEEK, WE HAVE POSTPONED THE GOLF TOURNAMENT. THE TOURNEY WILL BE PLAYED ON FRIDAY, MAY 15. ALL OTHER DETAILS (INCLUDING TEE TIMES AND LUNCH TIME) REMAIN IN EFFECT! Children’s Homes will host our annual golf event – the Tommy Bolt Memorial Golf Tournament – on Friday, May 15 at Sage Meadows (in Jonesboro, Ark.). And we want you to be part of it! The tournament is an opportunity to have a great day of golf, food and fun while accomplishing something amazing for needy children. All proceeds from the tournament benefit Children’s Homes and our mission of providing a home for neglected and abused children. The Tommy Bolt Memorial Golf Tournament is a four-player (men and women are welcome to play), best-ball tournament. You can choose which flight you want to play in – the morning flight (8:00 a.m. tee time) or the 12:30 afternoon group – but whichever you choose, make sure you’re around the tournament registration tent at 11:30 that morning... |
