NOVEMBER 17, 2022
The Exchange Club of Missouri City’s annual Golf-A-Thon has been a fundraiser for Ft. Bend charities for almost 30 years.
Golfers play a certain number of consecutive in one day and get sponsors to contribute money on a per-hole basis, some playing well over 100 holes in a day. It was not usual to raise over $25,000.
Rules:
- Golf-a-Thon participants are sponsored for a dollar amount per hole.
- Participants play as many holes as they can play in a day, or in some cases as many holes as they can play period.
- Flat fee contributions were accepted. Tee off at first light.
- In the afternoon other club members and guests will join the Golf-a-Thon for a 4-person scramble.
- The holes played in the scramble count towards the total holes played for Golf-a-Thon participants.
- Mini-shotgun started beginning at 1 pm so everyone finished around the same time.
- Breakfast is available for Golf-a-Thon participants.
- Lunch was served for Golf-a-Thon participants and anyone playing in the scramble.
- A hamburger and hot dog buffet was served after the scramble for all club members and guests.
2021 Golf-a-Thon was a success!
A particular shout out to:
- Leeann Stidham, Bill Petticrew, and Tyson Stittleburg all played over 100 holes of golf and are now undergoing physical therapy and collecting from sponsors.
- The several non-members joined us in the Golf-A-Thon scramble and stayed for dinner. If you invited or know these people, please pass on our thanks for participating. They made the day more fun for everyone.
- Cyrille Girouard our catering manager. He got up and made breakfast tacos for those teeing off shortly after 6. I assure you the club did not make enough money on breakfast to cover his time.
- Everyone who sponsored a player or made a contribution. Even little dollars add up.
