This year we have designated August 21st – August 30th Tee it up for the Troops WEEK AND WE ARE ASKING FOR SUPPORT FROM ALL THE METRO AREA PRIVATE GOLF CLUBS.
Participation is simple. Simply make an on-line between August 21st – August 30th. Participating members from the winning club will be eligible to win. The winning name will be drawn on
Thursday night, September 5th, at our second annual TIP IT UP FOR THE TROOPS gala at the Mendakota Country club.
Last year, The Minneapolis Golf Club stepped up with over $5,000 and won the challenge. Last years winner, Mark Kowalski, said “it was a spectacular course and fabulous weekend. How could you not participate to win such a great prize And support such a great cause”.
The needs of military veterans and their families are only partially being met. It is time to step up and
show how proud we are of their courage and service. Tee it up for the Troops Week is just one way all
metro area club golfers can step forward and say thank you for our freedom. We need your help in
supporting this great cause.
