Newberry Welcomes a Day of Fun at Annual Rotary Club Golf Tournament
On a beautiful day filled with sunshine and friendly competition, the Rotary Club of Newberry hosted its annual golf tournament at the stunning Country Club of Newberry on April 23. The event brought together community members, golf enthusiasts, and supporters for a day of fun and fundraising.
Golfing for a Good Cause
The day started off smoothly as participants arrived bright and early to prepare for their rounds of golf. Each golfer enjoyed a delightful bag lunch providing just the right fuel for a day on the greens. To top off the golfing experience, a barbecue supper was served in the evening, allowing everyone to gather, share stories, and reflect on their game over delicious food.
A beverage cart was also on the scene, making its way around the course to keep everyone hydrated and refreshed throughout the tournament. Additionally, exciting contests were held, adding an extra layer of fun for the players.
Fantastic Contests and Prizes
One of the highlights of the day was the hole-in-one contest. The prize? A shiny new Chevrolet Trailblazer donated by Stokes Trainor, creating a buzz of excitement among the players. Participants took their best shot, hoping to drive one straight into glory and claim the coveted prize.
But that wasn’t all! The tournament also featured closest to the pin contests, giving golfers more opportunities to showcase their skills. Players eagerly eyed the pin, hoping their accuracy would lead them to victory and bragging rights.
For those needing a little extra help off the tee, members of the NC women’s golf team were on hand, offering to give optional drives for participants. This made the tournament not only a platform for fun but also a chance to inspire local athletes and enjoy some mentorship on the course.
Community Engagement and Support
The tournament wouldn’t have been a success without the fantastic support from Rotary President Melody Jepson, Stokes Trainor General Manager Dale Dennis, and past Rotary President Donna Lominack. Their presence contributed to the warm atmosphere, and they played instrumental roles in bringing community members together for a shared purpose.
