Plantation Palms Golf Club Cornhole Tournament for Charity

Saturday, Jun 25, 2011 | On Target Page: Land O'Lakes

Story By: Glenn G. Gefers. New Owner's Jayson Ray, Mitch Osceoh, and Steve Mc Donald of Plantation Palms Golf Club hosted their first annual cornhole tournament on Saturday June 25, 2011 on the driving greens for charity. There sponsors consisted of Ierna's Air, Beef O' Brady's of 54 Land O Lakes, Yuengling, PRP Wine International and Able Copier services. This is going to be a new event that will be held each year during the week of irrigation of the lawns on the golf course.

The event lasted for a good 6 hours with 50/50's and door give away. Gifts ranging from Mc Guire's, Sage Salon, GPS Pools, LifeStyle's, Golf cart Depot and much more. Vendors and sponsors grouped together to help support a very important and local charity (The Pasco County Foster Adoptive Parent Association Inc.).

The new owners of the golf club have a community mission statement they want all to know and that's (A New Attitude) with family and residents on mind where no one is judged just welcomed. Their new attitude is something they believe strongly in and want their community to know about, from charities of local and far as of one to speak of the Native youth program www.FNGA.com that they build golf courses for all around the U.S. that don't have the privileges of the game.

The thing's that they are looking for in the golf club now is one with the Community, and Change. They will be offering youth programs and seniors, as well as couples golf events. They want to keep things fresh for their community, from their Friday night dinners to events like these and other's.

For their charity of choice they were able to raise around $850.00 with still upholding 1st 2nd and 3rd cash prizes and give away. They do want to take the opportunity to thank everyone that helped make this happen from sponsors to neighbors and the community. They are able to see what a great community not just Plantation Palms is but Land O Lakes and its surrounding areas as well. 2686 img…Mr Ierna himself take a toss at the cornhole event in order to raise money for the charity… 2727 img…Rain showed some sign of an event that wasn't going to happen but once the sky's opened the kids had a rained water hole to play in while other's raised money for the charity. 2799 img…Supporters of the charity group together for a picture to remember. Although all couldn't attend the shot it gives an idea of the turnout and its supporters.
