The Youth Center’s Annual Fundraising Golf Tournament at Rio Hondo Golf Club was a huge success! Unlike most golf tournaments, golfers were encouraged to sign their kids up for the opportunity to play on a team and gain tournament experience.
Event sponsor, The Long Beach Youth Golf League put together a team to play in the tournament, giving young golfers the rare experience of playing in a tournament and most importantly, having a lot of fun!
Proceeds raised from the tournament support the Youth Center’s Scholarship Fund for low-income families.
“Our tournament was unique in that it was open to everyone regardless of age,” said Lina Lumme, Executive Director of The Youth Center. “Three generations played together to raise money for a great cause. The kids loved it, and they all said they want to continue practicing for next year,” she exclaimed.
Teams included: Egan’s Foursome, Mike McCrary’s Foursome, Kunkel’s Foursome, David Walker’s Group, Awesome Foursome, Party of Fore, Four Players, Vero, Fore Hackers, Forehan Foresome, Fine Fearsome Foursome, Southland Credit Union, Shapiros All, Bill Shelton Foursome, The Close Enoughs, Up to Par, Santa Fe Chieftain Alumni, Ronnie Garcia’s Foursome and Luie Rodriquez’s.
