Get Ready for Golf and Fun!

Hospice Care wants to announce its plans and progress for the Tygart Golf Classic. The charity golf tournament will benefit patient care for those with terminal illnesses. It will be held on Saturday, July 24, 2010 at the Tygart Lake Golf Course.

“A lot of people get out and play because they love the game. Why not golf to compete for prizes, have fun, and make a difference in the lives of their neighbors and friends who are seriously ill?” asked Cynthia Woodyard, VP of Public Affairs and Access for Hospice Care Corporation.

There is still time to get involved and participate as a sponsor. We have added a special sponsorship level. You can sponsor a hole in honor or memory of a friend or loved one in the amounts of $25, $50 or $100 per hole.

Hospice Care Corporation would like to thank in advance all of the businesses and individuals that have already pledged their support. To date cash and hole sponsors include: Bartlett Funeral Home, Donald G. Ford Funeral Home, DynA-Mix/Rex Hide, Glotfelty Tires, Harry Green Chevrolet, International Coal Company, LaVerne Sweeney, Mark Zeck – State Farm Insurance, Mountaineer Yellow Pages, The Mitchell Group, LLC, Toothman Ford, and Emily Bolliger - United Security Agency. Waterfront Jeep will be sponsoring the hole in one contest for five par three holes. Prizes range from $22,000 towards the purchase of a new Jeep, Bose Wave Stereo, two $500 Visa Gift Cards, and a set of Nike Golf Clubs. Along with these sponsors, there are many businesses that have donated door prizes.

And, there is still time to sign up to play. Individuals and teams are encouraged to register for a cost of $60 per player. Registration includes: 18 holes of golf and cart, lunch, Goodie Bags, prizes and refreshments. This will be a shotgun scramble with an 8 AM tee time. There will be eligibility to win prizes for the top three place teams, two Closest to the Pins, Longest Drive, Longest Putt and a Hole in One at designated tees.
