Golfers to Play 100 Holes in ONE DAY

How many holes of golf do you think you could play in one day? How about 100?

Dedicated golfers will be putting their skills and endurance to the test during Milford Rotary’s 100 Holes of Golf Tournament at the Amherst Country Club this Friday. Golfers hit the course at 6 a.m. and attempt to hustle through one hundred holes.

The golfers usually end their long day around 7:30 p.m.

The tournament not only tests the limits of the golfers, but is also dedicated to giving back to the Milford area. The tournament raised $43,000  last year that was used towards scholarships and charitable projects in the community. In all, Milford Rotary gives back over $125,000 in donations and service to Milford, Amherst, Wilton, Lyndeborough and Mont Vernon area charities and scholars each year.

You can sponsor a golfer’s efforts, which enters into a raffle. There are ten cash prizes ranging from $500 to $5,000 up for grabs. A sponsorship of 20 cents a hole (or $20) would be one entry, $.40 would be 3 entries and so on. You do not have to be at the event to win.

The tickets also have some great coupons on them for The Copper Door, Valvoline (The White Duck), Black Dawg Sealcoat and H2O Waste Disposal. To purchase tickets conctact Cynthia Dokmo at cyndokmo@aol.com (please put "Golf tickets" in the subject line) or 603-673-0395.

Milford Rotary is also looking for more volunteers to help on the course. The day is split into four-hour shifts, and all volunteers are provided meals along with a special dinner at Giorgio’s Friday night. Contact Ryan Hansen at rhansen@hansenprint.com if you want to help out.

The tournament is supported by many generous sponsors throughout the community.
