NMCRS Charity Tournament Update (Thanks Rock Bottom)

A special thanks again goes out to the Cave Man at Rock Bottom Golf. Not only does his blog and news letter feature our site and the NMRCS Tournament, he gives me a special shout out.

Golfin’ For A Good Cause!
October 15th, 2009

Golfers and giving back seem to go together like milk and cookies, and with the end of the PGA season (and its suddenly much more available tour pros), charity golf tourneys seem to be poppin’ up all over the place!

All this week notable names from the world of golf, sports and entertainment have been playin’ some golf at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas for the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Aside from gettin’ in a few Pro-Am rounds, participants contribute to the Shriners’ cause and raise money to help support sick children.

Also underway this week was the 3rd Annual Caddy For A Cure Golf Tournament, hosted by the TPC at Eagle Trace in Coral Springs, Florida. One of my Rock Heads from Australia, Paul Miles, gave me the heads up on this one via my Facebook page. I was too late to get involved with this year’s outing, but this group does a whole lotta good all year round. They support a couple different charities, including the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund which helps people like Paul’s son Jasper who have Fanconi Anemia. (Be sure you check out their newsletter to see a feature on Jasper!)

Another Rock Head (who happens to be a frequent contributor to this blog) has been workin’ hard already this summer and fall to prepare for a tourney next May to support the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. John Barry’s doing a lot of good for this worthy cause, and you can keep tabs on his efforts through his blog, The Golfer’s Trip.

There’s only about a million more charity golf outings, tourneys, auctions, and fundraisers, and this Caveman just can’t keep up with all of ‘em. But I do encourage ALL my Rock Heads to get out there and give back by finding their favorite charity or good cause, and I’d love to hear about YOUR experiences with golfin’ for a good cause – just leave a comment below!

NMCRS Charity Tournament Update 3

I want to take a moment and personally thank Brian Noblin, of Myrtle Beach Internet Fame and a golf director at The Golf Desk in Myrtle Beach. He has signed on to sponsor a hole for our Charity Tournament, but went way beyond just that. Brian has provided 200 bags with a special Golf Desk Tee set inside each, to hold all the giveaways for the tournament.

He also provided a sign and stand for the hole, and his check of course. I keep trying to tempt him to come up and play the tournament, but I know May is a busy season for this hard working young man.

Brian runs THE Myrtle Beach Golf Forums, where locals, group leaders, and golf pros from the area come to talk about golf, course conditions, trips, reviews and speak with Brian, and other famous Myrtle Beach Golf professionals like YANK, PapaJoe, Mac, RAVENBOY2001 and of course Kieth of B&C Golf!

Beach Ford to Sponsor NMCRS Tournament

A special thanks to our good friend Bob Barton of Beach Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, for joining the VB Crew's Sponsorship list for the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Charity Golf Tournament on May 20th, 2010.

Beach Ford will be sponsoring a Par 3 Hole at the Ocean Golf Course, putting up a New Ford car for a Hole in One! We are more than happy to promote Beach Ford, as I know a lot of us have bought a car there before, but Bob is always willing to work out the best deal possible on a new or used car, so take advantage of our friend, he want's to sell you a new car.

Thanks to Bob and the whole Barton family for their support.

The NMCRS Charity Tournament Sponsorship Flier

Thank you Gus, for working on this, devoting time and money to get the flier done. Please folks, see me for printed copies, and I am also e-mailing the flier to everyone. I need help filling all the sponsor slots:

NMCRS First Sponsor

Special thanks to Jeff Guinn, of Guinn Graphics for his creation of the logo for the VB Golf Crew. Jeff is a graphic artist who can do all sorts of jobs. He has worked for years in the fashion industry and does graphic jobs, big and small for very low prices.

Be on the look out for the official NMCRS Tee shirt he will be designing later in the year when all the sponsors are set.
