SURVIVORS of HOMICIDE GOLF EVENT 2011
by Mike Colandro - Writer for CTGolfTips.com, Titleist Golf Professional, Worldwide Champion Golf Pro & Entertainer
The 2011 Survivors of Homicide Golf Event at Grassmere Country Club was a big success for everyone involved, especially SOH, who raised over five thousand dollars on the day .My good friend and Survivor, Art Jensen , did a wonderful job putting it all together and giving all SOH members a unique place to bond with other Survivors. Art had many volunteers that helped getting prizes, trophies, sponsors, and many donations to make the event successful.
The day started off with all the goodie bags (Starbucks) being stuffed & placed in each cart. Free coffee was provided and I started my putting clinic for all contestants. After everyone checked in we got to the carts and headed out to the course for a shotgun start .I was joined by my cart caddie, Kelly, and we stayed at the par three 5th hole where I met every player, while playing one hole with each group. My beautiful cart caddie, Kelly, was quite helpful driving the cart and tending the pin along with putting a smile on everyone’s face .I hit some good shots for most groups and sank a few putts, while gibing a few pointers out to each group. There were team pictures taken on the course and they were printed and handed out at the luncheon (Walgreens).
After the golf it was time to sit down with a cool drink in the Club House where cheese & crackers were served and all the prizes were ready to be given out. The Ted Faraci duo entertained the crowd, while I changed my outfit. I then got on stage and did a few golf songs along with a few stories from my Golf Show. Our special guest came on next, Sarah French, the very attractive news anchor for Fox, and she gave a heart-warming story about how she became a Survivor of Homicide. Next, Jessica (SOH) said a few words, followed by Art Jensen (SOH Golf Event Director), and then we all sat down to a great buffet of food put on by Grassmere Country Club .We then started giving out the golf prizes to the winners with myself & Sarah French handing out all the golf and raffle prizes. If you did not win a golf or raffle prize, you still had a chance to win a door prize. It was a great day and my pleasure to be a part of such a meaningful charity that can hit anyone at anytime, for more info on SOH go online at survivorsofhomicide.com and check what they are all about.
