Sign Up for the Sacramento Golf Marathon on November 16, 2015

UPDATE! Due to weather, the Sacramento Golf Marathon “100 Holes of Golf” has been rescheduled to Monday, December 14, 2015.

100 HOLES OF FUN

Whether you are a scratch golfer or high handicapper, it doesn’t matter, you can still participate in the Sacramento Golf Marathon. It is all about raising money for youth, disabled and the underserved!

The idea is to complete 100 holes of golf in as short of time as you can! And it is easy! You can participate as a single, or a twosome or a foursome. Be creative on how you complete the 100 holes! A single can play 100 holes, a twosome can play 50 holes each or alternate shots for 100 holes and of course a foursome could play 25 holes each. You determine how to complete the 100 holes! The average 100 hole round should take about 6 hours.

This event is all about charity and not about your score!

The entry fee is FREE! We ask that each individual or team raise a minimum of $500.00 to be donated to the Morton Golf Foundation (MGF). The MGF is a 501c3, non- profit foundation supporting the less fortunate in the Sacramento area.

Details:

The Sacramento Golf Marathon will begin at first light on November 16, 2015, on the Arcade Golf Course at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex, located at 3645 Fulton Ave. Sacramento, Ca 95821

The Special Olympics Golf Regionals Held at Haggin Oaks on September 11, 2015

Special Olympics 091115On September 11, 2015, the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex hosted the Special Olympics Golf Regionals. Starting at 7:30 am, over 200 Special Olympic athletes, along with over 50 volunteers, arrived with smiles on their faces in anticipation of a fun filled golf experience ahead.

Before the event started, everyone gathered for the Opening Ceremonies which included the Pledge of Allegiance, Special Olympic pledge and the torch from this year’s Special Olympic summer games. Next, Tom Morton, President of Morton Golf Foundation, announced that the games were officially open.

The event included 5 different golf skills stations set up on the Haggin Oaks Academy Holes at the back of the driving range. Athletes had an opportunity to show their talent. At one point during the day, Jane Siebers, Administrator for the Morton Golf Foundation, heard one of the athletes bragging about the 3 hole-in-one’s she had made.

There were also approximately 100 athletes that tested their golf skills for 9-holes on the Arcade Creek Golf Course in the 90 degree heat.

Everyone was a WINNER during the Special Olympics Golf Regionals. At the conclusion of the activities, everyone met back at the Creekside Landing Tent for a tasty hamburger BBQ and award ceremonies.

The athletes and volunteers went home energized and waiting for next year’s competition.
