All area golfers are cordially invited to join the golfers of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church Hayesville in our 2nd annual benefit outing, at 12:30 on September 26 at the Ridges Golf Club. Chairmen Jim Redmond and Kanute Rarey are getting excited because they remember what a great time everyone had last year. Golfers of all levels, both men and women, are welcome for fun, fellowship, food, and fund-raising.

To kick off the afternoon, a putting contest will be held at 11:00 a.m. There will be complimentary practice balls, driving range, chipping and putting greens. A hot dog lunch will be served at 11:30. At 12:30, a shotgun start will launch the 18-hole best ball scramble. Prizes will be awarded for the best hole, the best drive, the best putt, and the best score. At the end of the day, golfers and their guests will enjoy a cocktail hour with cash bar at 5:00 and dinner at 6:00 at the Ridges.

The price for the occasion is $100 per golfer, which includes 18 holes of golf with cart and dinner. Sponsorships are also available for $100; sponsors will get their names on tee boxes and GPS scorecard, plus recognition at lunch and dinner. Those who don't play golf but want to enjoy the festivities may purchase a dinner only ticket for $25.00.

The deadline for playing in the event or for sponsoring it is September 16. Contacts are Jim Redmond at 248-425-0307 or Kanute Rarey at 502-525-7272.
