The forecast looked a bit uncertain, but it didn\u2019t keep away 84 excited, mellow golfers ready for a great day of golf and over 30 volunteers ready to make sure they got their amazing LW DFS experience.<\/p>\n<p>Sign-in began at 7:00am with a continental breakfast, sponsored by Sam\u2019s Club, and Bloody Mary bar, sponsored by Tito\u2019s Handmade Vodka, Dave\u2019s Last Resort, and Costco. At 7:45am, all golfers and volunteers headed out to the 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0hole where the Palm Beach County FOOLS Organization provided their vintage ladder truck for the ball drop. (Three very happy purchasers of balls went home with half of the nearly $1300 pot.) At 8:00am, the golfers teed off, on what turned out to be a perfect morning. Hole #3 provided a chance to \u201cBeat the Pro,\u201d Matt McCarthy, hole #11 provided a Hole-In-One 19\u2019 Island Reef boat, compliments of Marine Connection, that, unfortunately, no one took home, and hole #14 provided an opportunity for golfers to use the \u201ccannon\u201d to try to shoot their ball closest to the hole. Aaron Coven, one of our Silver Sponsors, was only feet from the pin and won an all expenses paid 6-night, 7-day getaway.<\/p>\n<p>The rain held off and the golfers finished their game. Everyone enjoyed a quality lunch provided by Tony, the food and beverage manager, at the course. Mr. Cantley spoke regarding the history of the tournament and how I was nominated to become the new chairperson for the year. There was a raffle, complete with over 25 prizes from outstanding businesses and a silent auction with just as many prizes. Collectively, the two raised, in the ballpark of, $3,000 for LW DFS. The net profit for the tournament is $12,714.93<\/p>\n<p>The success of the tournament was due to the help of the countless volunteers, raffle and silent auction prize donors, Palm Beach National Golf Club, and, of course, the golfers.
