Golf Tournament Fundraisers- With A Difference

The list grows longer of golf tournament fundraisers that have decided to give it a try this year. But they will not look the same as they did way back in 2019.

Courses are scrambling to find ways to keep these gatherings safe without , well, gathering. The good news is that once golfers are out on the course and playing  they can easily distance from one another. The bad news is there are bottlenecks  during the process when golfers tend to bunch up, like during registration, buying raffle tickets, waiting for tee assignments, lunch, awards and raffle drawings and dinner.

But golf courses are coming up with solutions to these challenges. At Undermountain Golf Course, for example, registration and payment will be done on-line in advance of tournament day, the raffle will be restricted to a 50/50 rather than a prolonged drawing and dinner is likely to be “to go”. Participants will be limited to 72 golfers for a two-flight tournament.

Over at Fair View Farm Golf Course in Harwinton, one of their upcoming tournaments will have an on line silent auction and raffle, dinner will be replaced by a gift certificate for a free round of golf and registration will be limited to 100 golfers.

At Undermountain, rather than waiting in a group for tee assignments, foursomes will be given their starting hole, and they will go straight to their tee – no hanging around the club house, and lunch will be a boxed meal at the turn.

Masks and distancing are always  in order, but of course, all of these best-laid plans are subject to change.

Here is the latest batch of tournaments to weigh in:

Torrington Little League Golf Tournament, Aug. 14th,   Fairview Farm Golf Course

Sheffield Fire Co. Golf Tournament, Aug. 14, Copake Country Club

Fore Autism Charity Golf Tournament, Aug. 21st, Fairview Farm

Fore The Children Golf Tournament, Aug. 31st, Torrington Country Club

High Watch Golf Tournament, Sept. 21st, Club at River Oaks

Hearts of the Fathers Golf Tournament, Oct. 8th, Copake C. C.

Co ARC Opportunitees Golf Tournament, Sep. 24, Copake C.C.   FULL

BLN 20th Annual Golf Tournament, Sept. 14th, Torrington C.C.

Sharon Fire Co. Golf Tournament, Sept. 15th, Sharon Country Club

Torrington PAL Golf Tournament, Sept. 28th, Torrington C.C.

Again, everything these days is subject to change, so check http://sportingacause.com/ for updates.
