| Our Lady of Consolation 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
because of 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.
