Larry Miller, chair of the Byesville
Rotary Scholarship Golf Tournament, announced the 2019 tournament is scheduled
for May 5—that is Cinco de Mayo. Miller stated that the 2018 tournament netted
$3500 to support scholarships for seniors graduating from Meadowbrook.
Participation by players and sponsors was greater in 2018 than in 2017. In
2018, 25 teams participated and 35 local businesses and organizations supported
the tournament. He would like to break that record this year.
Miller stated that “During the 32 years the club has been
sponsoring the golf scholarship tournament over 80 Meadowbrook graduates have
received scholarships from the club.” To date the club’s annual Scholarship
Golf tournament has raised over $70,000 for scholarships.
Miller pointed out that community support of the golf tournament
is an important part of its success. Each year for 32 years, club members have
sponsored a scholarship golf tournament. This event is the club’s only fund
raiser for scholarships. All proceeds are directed to the scholarship fund.
The
event will be held at the Cambridge Country Club and will start at 2:00pm. Registration
is at 1:00 pm. Golfers can support
scholarship funding by forming 3 person teams. The fee is $55.00 per player;
$165.00 per team. Mulligans are $15.00 per team; skins are $15.00 per team. First
place prize is $330.00 and Second Place is $165.00. Hot dogs and bottled water
will be available at the turn. A buffet dinner will follow the event.
Larry Miller as well as
all of the club’s members are recruiting sponsors and golfers for the 2019
tournament. Contact Miller to register--740-260-2216. Local businesses and organizations who want to
help young people achieve their dreams can talk to Larry Miller or any of the
club members to become a sponsor. For a $100.00 contribution, a company,
organization, or individual can sponsor a hole at the event.
