Thanks to all Veterans and those currently serving!
Many of you have heard of Birdies for the Brave, an organization supported by the PGA Tour and tour professionals like Phil Mickelson. Birdies for the Brave has created many programs to assist our Veterans and is a fantastic organization. Please see their website.
In 2013, I decided that I wanted to donate money for every Birdie I made – similar to Phil Mickelson and others. In 2016, I surpassed my goal, making (317) Birdies and (6) Eagles! I was able to write a (tax deductable) check to Birdies for the Brave! After a few years of not tracking my progress I’ve determined I would like to reinvest in this worthy cause and start tracking birdies once again, I hope you’ll join me!
I would like to challenge every member at IGC to also participate in this effort!
I’ve recruited Matt Muller from Redback Consulting to create a Web-Based system for tracking each players’ efforts, once they are signed up. You will be able to log-in, add your scores and birdie/eagle counts and check your progress and see a summary of your accomplishments. You will then be able to make your donation at years end to the Birdies for the Brave website.
The power of this is not how many Birdies any one person makes or the money they donate, but how many Birdies our club can make and how much our club can donate!
My personal goal for 2022 is to make 350 Birdies and 8 Eagles!
My goal for IGC is to make 4,000 Birdies and 30 Eagles!!
Please call me if you have any questions
