First Tee of Pittsburgh to hold hole-in-one fund raiser

First Tee of Pittsburgh

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

The First Tee of Pittsburgh, a nonprofit youth development agency, is delighted to invite all area golfers to join the fun, excitement, and potential million dollar windfall of our annual hole-in-one weekend on September 19 – 21 at the Bob O’Connor Golf Course in Schenley Park.

 

Each year The First Tee of Pittsburgh’s annual fundraiser is a hole-in-one event that culminates in a shootout for $1,000,000.  The format is very simple:  a series of qualifiers take place each hour throughout the weekend during which one male and one female golfer are selected.  The two golfers whose shots are closest to the pin during that hour move on to be part of a Sunday Shootout to win the chance to qualify for the $1,000.000.00 grand prize.  From those qualifiers six finalists are selected, (three male and three female that are closest to the pin), to take a shot at a hole-in-one for $1,000,000.

 

This year The First Tee of Pittsburgh is inviting some special guests on hand.  On Friday, September 19 from 1 - 5 PM CINDY MORGAN, (Lacey Underall from the golf classic movie Caddyshack) will be on hand to greet golfers, pose for pictures, sign autographs and share stories from the movie.

 

The First Tee of Pittsburgh is a nine year old youth development agency that is one of 208 chapters throughout the world.  The First Tee of Pittsburgh’s mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that use golf instruction as a platform to teach kids nine key core values – Courtesy, Responsibility, Judgment, Respect, Confidence, Honesty, Integrity, Perseverance, and Sportsmanship.  We work with many area groups, youth and social service agencies, schools, and families in the community.

 

 

Times for the Hole-in-One are:
 

Friday, 9/19:  1 PM – 5 PM

Saturday, 9/20:  8 AM – 3 PM

Sunday, 9/21:  8 AM – 2 PM

 

Sunday Shootout, 9/21:  3 – 4 PM

Hole-in-One Million Dollar Shot, 9/21:  4:30 PM

 

I look forward to your support and hope area golfers will consider joining our event.
