“Each year we strive to make Rooney’s Golf Foundation Charity Golf Tournament a memorable event for our sponsors, players and most importantly our charities. Due to overwhelming demand for participation in our fall golf tournament we decided to create another great tournament, going back to where we began at Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter, FL. With all things new we also have introduced two new charities to our list for this very special event: Southeast Florida Honor Flight and Palm Beach County Police Athletic League. We’re also including “old” favorite FAU Honors College. We hope you can join us for our inaugural spring tournament and help us raise money for these three amazing local charities,” said Alexis Barbish, RGF Executive Director.
The day begins with a 7am registration and breakfast and continues with an exciting shotgun start at 8:30am. Course contests include: closest to the pin, longest drive, team awards and a hole-in-one prize opportunity. Lunch and awards will follow golf and incredible raffle prizes will be awarded.
