*****************************

Our par sponsor, Bantique Chiropractic, is organizing a charity golf tournament for the Holy Cross Academy and Holy Cross Church of West Sacramento, California. On August 21st, they are hosting their 1st Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Wild Horse Golf Club in Davis, CA. They are not only looking for more players, but for any level of sponsorship. The proceeds from the tournament will partly go towards the repair, re-striping of their parking lot and bringing it up to code. For more information or to register, you can call Carmelo Bantique at (916) 832-6385, email him at [email protected], go to the Facebook event, or click HERE for the registration form.

*****************************

Chapter member Dianna Berry wanted you to know about a fun opportunity to play in a tournament. Here's what she had to say about it: " I've been working on this tournament all year. We are looking for golfers, sponsors and volunteers. This tournament is a blast ... helicopter dimple drop, all Par 3 have hole-in-one prizes, including a luxury car ... caddies ... a nice golf jacket ... games and prizes on other holes; and a plated awards dinner with live auction, silent auction and raffle prizes. Fantastic items to bid on".

This is an individual format - you do not need a partner. The game is based on a point system, where the points you earn are determined by your net score on the hole. You total your points after the round and the winners are those with the highest points. Total points are calculated from your best 4 rounds.

P oints will be earned and accumulated as follows:

Net bogey = zero, Par = 1 point, Birdie = 2 points, Eagle = 3 points.
Net double bogey or higher = minus 1 point.

Morton Golf Foundation is Looking for Volunteers for the Special Olympics Regional Golf Competition!

Morton Golf Foundation is the PROUD sponsor of the Special Olympics Regional Golf Competition event on Friday, September 11th and is looking for volunteers from 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. This event is totally made up of Special Olympic athletes from all over Northern California. They arrive at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex full of enthusiasm and positive attitudes to enjoy a recreational morning outdoors. Some of them only do golf skills on the academy holes at the back of the driving range and some will play 9-holes of golf on Arcade Creek Golf Course.

They need approximately 30 volunteers to help guide them along their way. When the volunteers arrive everyone will meet near the #1 Hole of the Arcade Creek Golf Course for the Opening Ceremony. Special Olympic of Northern California will assign each volunteer with their helpful duties.

If you are available to volunteer on that morning, please contact Jane Siebers at [email protected] by September 4th.
