VIRGINIA AMATEUR GOLF TOUR GIVES BACK!

On April 28th around 4pm the Suffolk, VA area was hit badly by a Tornado. The Nansemond River Golf Community was damaged and over 150 houses left with only a slab. The amazing thing was that not one death occurred from the tornados in Suffolk. Watching the events unfold to an area we know very well was sad. It was a time to come together as only Americans can and so the Virginia Amateur Golf Tour came together and started raising money for the local Suffolk Chapter of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross was helping with all the needs of each family.

The Virginia Amateur Golf Tour has received donations from many of the local golf courses. Many of the courses have donated a foursome package, that went online for a auction that will conclude over the next 24 hours. The Tour also raised some money by player donations in the amounts of $5 dollars up to $100 dollars. In total, the Virginia Amateur Golf Tour will present the American Red Cross with a check this Saturday for a total of over $3500 dollars. It was something to see the Tour Players coming together to help fellow Americans. I am proud to be an American and part of the Amateur Golf Tour.
