Our 32nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament – Another great success!
On Saturday, June 22nd, 2019, approx 80 golfers turned up at Moffett Golf Course in Mountain View for our 32nd annual charity golf tournament. Club volunteers had been on site since 7:00am in the morning to set up everything, from registration to electronic display board, from silent auction table to breakfast station, and just about everything that makes our tournament such an attraction. Half a dozen youngsters from LEO clubs and other youth organisations showed up just in time when registration opened. They helped get golf bags onto the carts and assisted in many other ways. Shot gun start was at 10:00am on this beautiful sunny day. Everybody seemed to have a great time going around the 18 hole golf course, stopping at the beer station or at the club house for additional sustenance, and at the photo booth for a group picture.
Around 3:00pm the first teams came in, visibly tired but also in good spirits. Teams that handed in their score cards were entitled for a pitcher of beer per foursome. Food was served right then, with hamburgers and all trimmings plus baked beans. The MC’s performed the awards ceremony while golfers were eager to find out whether or not they had won one of the raffle prizes.
Final financial numbers for this fundraising event are still outstanding, but the feedback so far from lots of participants was very positive, and appreciative.
Great recap of a great event! Fantastic to see this charity golf tournament come off again, for the 32nd year. Truly this event is a “classic” for our club and the friends and community that support our efforts to help others. In the true spirit of Lionism, it’s about people coming together, having fun, and helping others as well. Not ever losing sight of the core value, WE SERVE. Bravo!
