6th Annual Blaze Golf Tournament

On May 28th the 2011 Blaze Golf Tournament was held at the Links at City Park in Portsmouth. The youth and adult volunteers made this year's event a huge success and a lot of fun. As it turns out this was the biggest tournament we've had. Thanks for playing and supporting the event.
- This year's award recipients were: Tyler M: Best Drive; Madison G: Most difficult putt; Elizabeth F: Best Approach Shot; Tucker S: Most Awesome Shot; Garrett H: Most Skillful Banana Ball (Slice); Joey F: Best Overall; Guy W: Best Shot Out of Trouble; Joey F: Best Use of Natural Surroundings; John F: Best Happy Gilmore Moment (most unconventional shot) ; Alex B: Best Tin Cup Moment (going for it); Courtney M: Best Bagger Vance Moment (divine intervention); Jake M: Best Use of Weapons of Grass Destruction.

- The Links at City Park is the perfect place to hold a youth golf outing. The course will permit you to play only 9 holes on Saturdays (they only have 9 holes actually) and the cost for students is only $7.00 if they walk the course and carry their bag. A pull cart is $2.00 more. The cost of golf carts are also reasonable, but we always walk. They have a snack bar that has a great hotdog. Not too many water hazards so you don't lose as many balls as you might on other courses. Helpful friendly course personnel. Sometime mosquitoes can get bad in the summer so bring some insect repelant. Also hats and sun screen help. It always takes longer to play 9 holes than you think when you start several foursomes. We started at 9 AM and the last team walked off around 12:30 PM. Great trophies are not expensive and we had G&W Awards on Poplar Halls Road in Norfolk do them for us.
