The Southern California Charity Golf Classic Recap

Thank you all so much for playing in the Southern California Charity Golf Classic.
I wanted to get this recap to you all much sooner than this, but it’s taken this long to make sure we had all the correct numbers and to take care of all the clean up after the event itself.
DSC_0270In total, we had 115 golfers play in the 1st Annual Southern California Charity Golf Classic.
JB, John Gaynor, Danny Samson and Scott Britton won the Southern California Charity Golf Classic with a score of 55 or 17 under par. As winners, JB, John, Danny and Scott will each receive the Green Golf Shirt and free entry into next years golf tournament.
No one had a Hole-in-One on the MK Smith Chevrolet Hole-in-One Hole. John Gaynor won the closest to the pin contest on Hole #2. And Dan Samson won the Money Hole on Hole #17.

Errors

In managing the first golf tournament, we were bound to make some errors. The biggest error was that I forgot to include those who paid for the wristbands to be included in the Money Hole. In cash we had $90, but in total, we had $280 committed towards the Money Hole which means Dan Samson is entitled to an additional $90 in cash. If you know Dan, please have him contact me.

Golf Shirts

Thank you to everyone who purchased golf shirts at the Southern California Charity Golf Classic. We’re placing the order for your shirts this week and will get them out to you when they arrive. (I will let you know when that will be in our next email)

So, How Much Did We Make?

When we decided to put this charity golf tournament on, we wanted to make it as affordable as possible to get as many golfers signed up as possible.
We then wanted to put on a great event that hopefully, you all would like to attend next year.
And lastly, we wanted to make it so good that not only would you come back next year but that you’d tell your friends to join us next year. With more golfers and a higher price point (for new golfers?), we hope to make even more next year.
Together, we raised $7,597.81 for local charities!!!
And here’s how we broke it down . . .

Charity Payouts

In our original planning for the event we decided to split the profits from the event amongst the ten participating charities by guaranteeing all charities would split 50% of the profits while the remaining 50% would be divided amongst the charities you decided to support when you signed up.
Bark for Life = .067 x 7597.81 = $509.05
Boys Republic = .119 x 7597.81 = $904.14
CSPA = .105 x 7597.81 = $797.77
Chino Rotary = .072 x 7597.81 = $547.04
Corona Firefighters = .138 x 7597.81 = $1048.50
House of Ruth = .081 x 7597.81 = $615.42
The Let It Be Foundation = .109 x 7597.81 = $828.16
Salvation Army = .076 x 7597.81 = $577.43
Share Your Passion = .128 x 7597.81 = $972.52
Wounded Warrior Project = .104 x 7597.81 = $790.17

Feedback Survey

As I mentioned during the event, we want to make sure this is the best golf tournament it can be. We built some great momentum this year and I want to get your feedback to see if we can make this event even better for next year.
