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.”
