One of the many joys of being a child is waiting for Santa Claus to bring all of the toys and gifts you have been wanting and hoping for on Christmas Eve. Waking up on Christmas morning to find a pile of wrapped boxes and gift bags under the tree is a feeling unlike any other for children and families all over the country. The anticipation of opening those boxes and starting to play with your new toys is simply unmatched by any other time throughout the year – even your birthday!
Imagine looking under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning and realizing that Santa Claus did not bring you and your family any toys or presents. You have been good all year – surely you were on the nice list. Why did your house not receive any presents this year? Rather than ripping through bright colored paper and throwing bows around the room, you are left wondering what put you on the naughty list.
It is an unfortunate reality that not all children and their families will be able to have that wonderful feeling of Christmas joy due to financial hardships. Too many families in Alabama (and communities around the world) are dealing with struggles with money and cannot afford to buy toys. When parents are living paycheck to paycheck to buy food and pay rent, there is not always room in the budget for toys and games.
Residents in the community of Oxford, Alabama, in Calhoun County can help these underprivileged children be able to celebrate the holidays by participating in the 14th Annual Toys for Kids Golf tournament at the Pine Hill Country Club. Check out the event Facebook page (here) to learn more!
How the Golf Classic Works
You already know how to play golf, so let us explain how the golf classic works. There is a 144 person limit on the number of golfers who will be able to participate, so it is important that you get registered for the event as soon as possible to ensure your spot on a team.
If you are interested in participating in the 14th Annual Toys for Kids Golf tournament, the format will be a 4-person blind draw scramble (A-B-C-D). The cost to participate is $65 plus the inclusion of an unwrapped toy to be donated to the children of families in the Oxford, AL, area. You can opt for 2 mulligans for an additional $10, but that is optional.
The event takes place at the Pine Hill Country Club on December 4, 2021, and begins promptly at 9am (S/G start), so be there well ahead of time ready to join your team and hit the links! There will be breakfast provided at The 19th Hole because we know that you will work up quite the appetite during the tournament. Also, we will be awarding plenty of prizes throughout the day in various categories, so be sure to play your best and have fun. You will have all day (until 5pm) for the event.
For those who cannot or do not want to play but still want to be a sponsor for the event, let us know and we are happy to provide you with all of the necessary details. Underprivileged children all around the city of Oxford greatly benefit from your participation and sponsorship in events like this gold classic.
