“Fore the Community”
Marathon Golf Event
On Monday, May 18th Wycliffe Golf & Country Club will host the “Fore the Community” Marathon Golf event for the Seminole Region of the Florida Chapter of the Club Manager’s Association of America (CMAA). The money raised during this fun event will benefit Special Olympics, SOS Children’s Villages and Toys for Tots. As a group, the Seminole Region of the FLCMAA hopes to raise a total of $200,000 for these charities.
Participants in the marathon include: Richard Chase, CCM, CAM (Director of F&B), Shannon Wheeler (Director of Golf Course Maintenance), Lynn Stebbins, CCM, PGA (Director of Golf), Paul Rifenberg (Assistant Golf Professional), & Robb Heering, PGA (Assistant Golf Professional)
Additionally, Richard & Lynn will battle for who can play more holes in 2015. Lynn played 200 holes to Richard’s 180 holes in 2014. All participants hope to play a minimum of 150 holes and raise at least $10,000 for these wonderful charities through donations and hole sponsorships. You can help them reach their goal by pledging a set dollar amount, or by pledging an amount for each hole played.
All donors who give $100 or more are entered in a drawing for an Ocean Reef Weekend getaway!
