2010 Genesco Sports Tournament for the Joseph Groh Foundation The weather for the event cooperated to the extent that the skies were sunny and the temperature was in the mid-80s. A strong wind with gusts up to 20-30 mph however made life interesting all day for the golfers. Prior to the main event, participants enjoyed a 3 hole competition on the putting green, along with a lunch of grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, homemade potato chips, coleslaw, fruit and cookies. Five golfers were chosen by a drawing of purchased raffle tickets to participate in a hole in one contest for $100,000. Unfortunately, the wind helped ensure that no one claimed the prize. During the event, golfers had a chance to win a 4 day/3 night vacation package at any of Club Corp.'s golf resorts for a hole-in-one on any of the par 3 holes. Following golf, participants circulated among about 40 items offered for sale through a silent auction. A dinner of Texas barbecue was served, after which prizes were awarded for the longest drive, straightest drive, closest to the pin (2) and low team gross score. (Top 4 teams) In addition to the 60+ golfers, 12 dinner (only) guests, 21 corporate and individual sponsors, 20 donors and contributors and 12 volunteers were involved in making this fundraiser a success! In all, the event raised over $17,000 (after costs) to help those afflicted with spinal cord injury and other life altering disabilities. To all the golfers, sponsors, donors and volunteers, board members of the Joseph Groh Foundation say Thank You!
