Fundraising Events

[luchnia]

Do any of you play the small town charity fundraising events. I am only referring to the small events that raise money for different causes.

My buddy was expressing an interest in playing some small charity events. He usually shoots around 105-110 and I wasn't sure if that was a playable score for those type of events.

The ones around here cost around 75 to maybe 150 per person. If you do play them, do they suck, or are they fun and worthwhile?

Often these events cater to the occasional or novice golfer by using a "scramble" format.  If your buddy can get 3 friends to join him, he will have a day on the course and support a charity.  

With the right group, these events can be fun as long as no one is too serious about the golf.

Agree,  If you go out just to enjoy the day and not even worry about the score, you will have fun.   Last one I played in, there were 20 4 man teams and we came in 2nd to last place with a 7 under par. Even the worst player on the team had some of his shots used.  We were happy with how we did and enjoyed the day.  Keep the right attitude and you will have a good day.
