The A Wish Come True and the Meghan K. Duffy Foundation 
Golf and Tennis Charity Tournament is almost here!!!!

Date and Location: August 17 at Ledgemont Country Club
8:00am Shotgun and 1:00pm Shotgun

We are sincerely grateful for your support and participation in our golf and tennis tournaments. We would like to ask all team captains to please share the information below with your team members.

Purpose of this Golf and Tennis Tournament:  Like every nonprofit, event cancellations have had a significant impact on the fulfillment of their Mission, as fundraising opportunities have drastically decreased.  Although we will have an amazing golf tournament, we are restricted in many activities that we traditionally do to help raise funds to support our Wish Kids. We have been very sensitive to Covid-19 restrictions and have created two shotgun times to help spread out players throughout the day for everyone's safety. To do this, we will be unable to have our traditional large gathering at the end of the golf tournament to share our Mission, or have a silent and live auction to help raise funds and announce prize winners of the tournament. We purposefully kept our cost of the golf tournament at $150 and tennis tournament at $100, which helps us cover the costs of the event. Today, we ask you for your help.  Although we will have fun events on certain holes, we ask that you consider supporting our event in additional ways when you check in on Monday.   We have many amazing raffle prizes, an air cannon and a great lemonade stand made by a Wish Family as opportunities for you to join us in helping our families that are struggling with a child that has a life threatening, and often a life time illness. They need us more now than ever. We will accept checks, cash and credit cards.
GOLF LOGISTICS
 
Please note that the golfing range, located off the entrance road into the club, will be open to all players. We ask that you use the range PRIOR to coming to the parking lot to check in your clubs. You will not be able to bring carts to the golfing range.
 
Please remember to bring your mask, as masks must be worn at all times on premise except when you are in your cart on the course.
You must have your masks on at the putting green.

Coffee and Bagels will be available during check-in.

We have limited carts and have planned on two people per cart. Per Massachusetts guidelines, there should be one driver at all times and one person should have a mask on when in the cart. If you would like to request a separate cart it will be based on first requests. You can contact Mary-Kate for this request.

Bathrooms will be open in locker rooms as well as near the pro shop for your convenience. There is also a bathroom facility near hole 4/7.

Due to having two shotgun starts, we ask that you remain in designated areas and social distance. Our busiest time will be 11:00-1:00pm as tennis players will be done at noon, 1st round golfers will be done between 12 and 1 and the 2nd shotgun will be starting as soon as carts are ready and 1st round players are done. Please be sensitive to time. Please take your max on a hole if needed and move on. 

Lunch- Our lunch will begin at 12:00 for the 1st group and tennis players only. We ask anyone in the 2nd flight to please remain at your carts, raffle area, putting green etc. to maintain social distancing and be in compliance with guidelines. Lunch will include assorted sandwiches, potato salad, fruit etc..... and you can sit on the outside deck area or inside dining area.
 
The 2nd group will have the same meal option, including ice cream, after their round is complete.  
 
Once the 2nd group has begun we will pick the raffle winners. This way any winners from the morning shotgun can take their raffle prizes home and the afternoon shotgun players can get theirs after they finish their round.
