7th Annual "Chipping for Charity" Golf Tournament


Results are in! Great day on the course in support of the Pooler Lions Club.

SAVE THE DATE and join us next year on Saturday, May 13, 2023.

The Pooler Lions Club held their 7th Annual “Chipping for Charity” Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 7th at Crosswinds Golf Club. All proceeds from the tournament will fund the Pooler Lions Club Charity Fund and support their work helping the blind and visually impaired. Although Vision is one of their major areas, they are also involved in the community with Environmental, Childhood Cancer, Diabetes and Hunger service projects.

Thanks to all our golfers who came to enjoy this beautiful day on the course as well as a delicious lunch, awards ceremony, and raffle prizes donated by local businesses. Unfortunately, no one won the Hole-in-One challenge for the $1,000 cash prize or the Ice Cream for a Year donated by The Ice Cream Stop.

Golf Chairman, Linda Saytanides stated, “We were excited to have 126 golfers for our 7th Annual Chipping for Charity Golf Tournament. We have steadily grown over the years and continue to be more successful each year. We had 54 hole sponsors and 74 businesses supporting us with prizes, raffles and goody bag items. We are very thankful for all the community support. Please mark your calendars now to join us next year at Crosswinds on Saturday, May 13, 2023.”
