s This is our 6th Annual Smoky Hill Golf Tournament hosted by Common Ground Gold Course in Aurora, Colorado!  Our first ever golf tournament was on August 1st which was Bob Hughs birthday - father of Joe!  Since this first tournament took place, we've raised close to $100,000 for our various causes.  CommonGround loves Smoky Hill Rotary and has stated that we are one of the best tournaments of the year!  Let's keep up the good work! 
 
PDG Talee Crowe passed out assignments to each of us that are working the event.  Assignments are subject to change!  Please check in with Talee if you need a reminder of your assignment or need to request a different assignment.  PLEASE be there by 6am so we are ready for those eager, early morning golfers!
 
Thank you to Joe and Cindy who put together 144 goodie bags full of great stuff!
 
We do have a full contigency of 144 golfers which breaks down to 36 foursomes!
 
What's different this year?  The MUTANT hole!  Hole #3!  They will start at 403 yards.  For every $20 the group puts in, they get to move 20 yards closer to the hole.  There are lots of prizes and other pieces that will make this a fun spot!  Your editarian has never played golf - other than mini golf - and has never helped with a golf tournament!  So - terminology is a bit of a foreign language!  Should you get a break from your assignment - wander to the MUTANT Hole #3 and see what's happening!
This is all about having fun to raise money for kids in Aurora. Here's some fun golf thought to keep you laughing until Friday and the next time you go out to play some golf!
 
 
 
 
This is our one and only fundraiser for the year.  This fundraiser supports Century Elementary - Back to School, four year scholarships for Overland High School students, CCA scholarships, Comitis, Gateway Battered Women's Shelter, Boy Scout Troop 641, Romanian Children and the Ronald McDonald House.
