Panorama Village, Texas – The Village Golf Club will host a Veteran’s Day golf tournament Nov. 11 with proceeds from the event to benefit The Veterans Museum in Texas.
An 18-hole scramble format tournament with a 9 a.m. shotgun start, the entry fee is $250 per player and includes greens fees, cart rental, an expanded pre-round continental breakfast, post-round luncheon and award presentation, tournament prizes and on-course competitions such as hole-in-one and putting contests.
Participants also will receive a Nike Golf gift package that includes a dozen Nike One golf balls, Tech-Extreme golf duffle bag, Swoosh cap, golf glove, windshirt and a Nike Dri-Fit polo shirt, a total value of more than $250.
“We owe a great deal to our veterans, and this tournament is a small way for The Village Golf Club to say ‘thank you’ for their service and sacrifice,” says general manager Aaron Czajka. “The Veterans Museum in Texas is a wonderful initiative and The Village is very pleased to be giving back to the community in this way.”
Fundraising has begun in earnest for construction of The Veterans Museum in Texas on donated land in south Houston. A national institution, the museum will be dedicated to the service of all American veterans from the Revolutionary War to the present. The museum will join other prominent museums in the region such as such as the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans.
“Recognition for the Museum is becoming very widespread in the Houston metro area for which we are extremely grateful and we appreciate what The Village Golf Club is doing, as well,” says Tom Cottar, an advisory director for The Veterans Museum in Texas.
Owned by the city of Panorama Village and managed by Billy Casper Golf, The Village Golf Club was formerly a private golf facility that has been transformed into an upscale, public golf course now serving the entire community.
In addition to the tournament supporting the museum, The Village is also hosting an upcoming tournament and “helicopter ball drop” contest to support hurricane relief. It was originally scheduled for September to respond to Katrina, but Hurricane Rita required organizers to postpone until Nov. 18.
