Register for the 2009 Meadowbrook Open

Pebble Beach? Child’s play. Augusta National? Please.

You ain’t played golf til you’ve played the Meadowbrook Open.

This year’s Meadowbrook Open golf tournament at the Madison Marye “Country” Club is Sunday, October 11. The format is Captain’s Choice with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. and a delicious BBQ dinner to follow at The Meadowbrook Center.

For one day only, we create an 18-hole par-three course on our former state Sen. Madison Marye’s scenic Shawsville farm. And we carve the holes three feet wide to give everyone a chance for a hole-in-one!

Register as a team of four for $240.00 or as an individual for $60.00 and we will find a team for you. Hole Sponsorships are $200.00, which includes four dinner tickets.

Please click here to learn more and register.

All fees (minus $10 per person for the cost of the dinner ticket) are tax-deductible. The tournament is sponsored by the Mountain Valley Charitable Foundation. Please contact Michael Hemphill, MVCF executive director, at 540.268.2879 or michael@eastmontva.com if you have questions.

Thank you for supporting this important charity event that to date has raised more than $50,000 for The Meadowbrook Center — a multipurpose community facility for the citizens of eastern Montgomery County.
