LIMEKILN GOLF CLUB
2008 SEASON
SATURDAY, 4/26 & SUNDAY, 4/27
THERE’S A LOT TO GO OVER IN THIS E-MAIL SO I’LL GET RIGHT TO IT.
FOURTH ANNUAL LIMEKILN NIGHT AT THE PHILLIES
TUESDAY, JUNE 17TH – 7:00PM VS. BOSTON RED SOX
TICKET COST - $35.00 (LEFT FIELD IN FRONT OF SCOREBOARD)
TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE AS FOLLOWS. 30 TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE FRIDAY, APRIL 25TH FOR THOSE MEMBERS WHO PLAY DURING THE WEEK. 30 WILL GO ON SALE ON SATURDAY, APRIL 26TH FOR THE SATURDAY MEMBERS, AND 30 WILL GO ON SALE SUNDAY, APRIL 27TH FOR THE SUNDAY PLAYERS. THERE WILL BE A LIMIT OF 4 TICKETS PER MEMBER. TICKETS WILL BE SOLD FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED ON THE THREE DAYS. I CAN’T GET ANYMORE TICKETS THAN WHAT I HAVE. IF THERE’S STILL TICKETS LEFT SUNDAY, I SELL THEM ALL TO WHOEVER WANTS THEM.
…. EACH TICKET HAS A $10 CREDIT FOR FOOD BUILT IN TO THE PRICE. JUST BUY WHATEVER AT THE CONCESSION STAND, AND YOUR TICKET STUB IS LIKE A $10 BILL. IT REALLY DOES WORK, BECAUSE WE DID IT LAST YEAR.
…. PLEASE, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT … ONLY BUY TICKETS IF YOU’RE PLANNING ON GOING TO THE GAME. THE PHILLIES AND MY FAMILY HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP THAT GOES BACK MANY YEARS. THIS COULD BE A VERY HOT TICKET, ESPECIALLY IF THE PHILLIES ARE PLAYING WELL. I DON’T WANT ANY OF THESE TICKETS IN THE HANDS OF SCALPERS, OR ON EBAY. THEY KNOW WHO HAS WHAT TICKETS, AND I DON’T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A HORSES REAR END.
….THERE IS NO TRANSPORTATION OR PARKING INVOLVED. YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN AS FAR AS THAT GOES. WE ARE ALL SEATING TOGETHER IN THE LEFT FIELD BLEACHERS.
PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT PRO V1 SLEEVES WILL SELL FOR $5.00 PER SLEEVE.
YES, THERE IS A CATCH, SO HERE’S THE STORY. MANY OF YOU HAVE MET MY SON CHRIS. HE IS A 2003 GRADUATE OF WEST POINT, AND A VETERAN OF THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN. HE HAS SERVED HIS TOUR OF DUTY IN THE MILITARY, AND NOW RESIDES IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA WITH HIS FIANCEE, CHANEL. THE JOB HE TOOK IN JACKSONVILLE IS WITH A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION CALLED THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT. THIS THREE YEAR OLD COMPANY WAS FORMED TO HELP OUT SEVERLY WOUNDED SOLIDERS, AS THEY TRY TO PUT THEIR LIVES BACK TOGETHER. THERE ARE TOO MANY SOLDIERS RETURNING FROM THE MIDDLE EAST HAVING LOST LIMBS, THEIR EYESIGHT, BEEN SEVERLY BURNED, OR HAVE BEEN STRESSED TO THE BREAKING POINT. THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT HELPS IN THEIR REHAB, TAKES THEM ON MINI-VACATIONS, AND TRIES TO GET THEM JOBS SO THEY CAN MOVE AHEAD IN LIFE. THEY’VE ALSO BUILT A JUNIOR COLLEGE IN JACKSONVILLE TO HELP THE SOLDIERS BEGIN, OR RESUME THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION. OBVIOUSLY, AN ENDEAVOR LIKE THIS TAKES A LOT OF MONEY, AND THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT HAS HAD GREAT SUCCESS IN GETTING CORPORATE SPONSORS, AND HAS MET MOST OF THEIR GOALS SO FAR. BUT, EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS, AND THIS IS WHERE OUR PROMOTION COMES IN.
THE PGA PLAYERS “BIRDIES FOR CHARITY” IS A FUND RAISING PROMOTION PUT ON BY THE PGA TOUR IN CONJUCTION WITH THE UPCOMING PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP IN JACKSONVILLE MAY 1ST – MAY 4TH. THE IDEA IS TO PLEDGE AS MANY PENNIES AS YOU WANT FOR EACH BIRDIE MADE BY THE PRO’S IN THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP. THE MOST POPULAR PLEDGE IS 2 CENTS. SINCE THERE ARE 1500 OR SO BIRDIES MADE IN THE TOURNAMENT, YOUR CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE ABOUT $30.00. TO SPICE THINGS UP, I’VE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF A TITLEIST PROMOTION. I’VE PURCHASED, AT A DISCOUNT, 12 DOZEN WOUNDEDWARRIORPROJECT.ORG PRO V1 GOLF BALLS. WE’LL SELL THEM AT $5.00 PER SLEEVE, AND WILL ATTACH A “BIRDIES FOR CHARITY” PAMPHLET TO EACH SLEEVE. YOU CAN READ THE PAMPHLET OVER, AND DO WHAT YOU WANT. THE PRO V1 SLEEVES WILL BE AVAILABLE, STARTING SATURDAY, APRIL 26TH.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I’LL BE AROUND TO ANSWER THEM THIS WEEKEND.
SEE YOU THEN.
