Donate to the Cause
On October 19th, I will be attempting to play as many holes of golf as possible at Coosa Country Club to raise money for the Georgia State Golf Association Foundation’s Scholarship Fund, Adaptive Golf, and Junior Golf programs.
Please consider making a flat donation or per hole pledge to support these great programs that are striving to enrich the lives of the participants through the game of golf.
