Tournament Chair Red Carpenter issues instructions prior to the opening of the 2011 tournament. To his right are Don O'Neal and Hank Ehlbeck, Chapter Vice President.
After months of work by a “few good men and women” the USMCCCA Foundation’s Florida Golf Tournament went off without a hitch on Friday June 3 with a record 120 golfers tee’ing off at Davenport’s Ridgewood Lakes Golf Club.
Not surprisingly, the tournament also set a record for raising money for wounded Marines, and the Merit Awards and scholarship programs of the Foundation. According to Chapter President and Tournament Chair Red Carpenter slightly more than $10,000 (after expenses) was raised. This beats the $7,500 raised several years ago and is a testament to getting repeat sign-ups by a lot of well-satisfied golfers.
As Carpenter said: “Considering the number of golf tournaments being staged in central Florida during this month, the economy and the competition for golfers, I could not be more pleased. Especially since many are friends that have been with us since we started this tournament seven years ago.”
