Our Lady of Consolation
Inaugural Golf Tournament
As a means to reach out more to the local community through our food pantry, elder
care ministry, youth ministry, summer camp and meals for the men and women’s
homeless shelter to name a few, Our Lady of Consolation held its first golf tournament at
The Tradition Golf Club in the University area of Charlotte. Our honorary chairman for the
event was Mr. Humpy Wheeler of NASCAR fame and our special celebrity guest was
former NY Yankee Tony Womack who played a hole against each of the golfers.  

While 85 signed up to play, the tournament was delayed a week due to rain and we did
loose some golfers, but the day and entire event proved to be a great time and
financial support.  Each hole had a sponsor as well as various tournament sponsors and
donors for gifts for our raffle and gift bags.  Chick-fil-A provided a free breakfast for
everyone and at the end of the day dinner was served along with presentation of
awards.  Even the local television was there and we made the evening news.  Plan your
spring vacation for next May to Charlotte and play in our second tournament.
