CAVE CREEK – Play golf “fore” the Desert Foothills Library. The nonprofit invites golf enthusiasts to come enjoy a day of golf for a great cause at the 24th Annual Charity Golf Tournament held at the spectacular Desert Forest Golf Club, 37207 N. Mule Train Road, in Carefree, on Monday, May 7.
Players may register by calling David Court at 480-488-2286, emailing [email protected] or stopping by the library at 38443 N. Schoolhouse Road in Cave Creek with completed forms and fees by April 23.
The tournament has a scramble format and entry is $250 per person. This includes 18 holes of golf, prizes, continental breakfast and a buffet luncheon. All contributory amounts are tax deductible. The available sponsorship opportunities help provide meaningful, life-long learning opportunities for the Foothills area of Cave Creek, Carefree, North Phoenix and North Scottsdale. Players may bring their own group (men, women and mixed) or organizers will group individuals together.
As a major fundraiser for the privately funded Desert Foothills Library, the tournament maintains the Library collection and supports the diverse programming for children, teens, adults and seniors. Funded by the contributions of community-minded individuals and organizations, the Cave Creek, Arizona based 501(c)3 does not receive any tax-based income.
“The tournament gives golfers of every level a chance to play at a private club known for having one of America’s finest golf courses while supporting the Library’s collection and diverse programming,” said David Court, executive director of the Desert Foothills Library.
Desert Forest Golf Club, a private facility and home to the highly acclaimed Robert “Red” Lawrence designed course, offers gorgeous mountain and desert views and has been recognized by Golf Digest, Golf Week and Golf Magazine as a Top 100 Course in America.
Participants in the four-player scramble format tournament will enjoy a great day of golf and fun while supporting a fantastic cause. Event check-in and continental breakfast begin at 7:30 a.m. A shotgun start at 9 a.m. opens the friendly competition.
Golfers will have opportunities for prizes and awards. A silent auction and 50/50 raffle will follow the tournament at the buffet luncheon.
