Annual Friel Memorial Golf Tournament Brings Community Together to "Help Keep Kids on Course"

Hollis, N.H. – With every swing and every putt, the Friel Memorial Golf Tournament does more than bring golfers together—it helps change lives. Hosted on September 18 at the scenic Overlook Golf Club in Hollis, this annual event brought out more than 180 golfers for a day of camaraderie, friendly competition, and meaningful support for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashu

The tournament wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of Friel Golf Management and the Friel Family. Their continued partnership has helped make this event a highlight of the year—and a powerful way to “help keep kids on course,” the tournament’s guiding mission.

This year’s event saw golfers participate in both morning and afternoon flights, enjoying spirited play, on-course games, prizes, and a raffle for a chance at prizes from local vendors, and a grand prize of an all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville.

“We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, participants, and especially the Friel Family for their unwavering support,” said Meghan Fitzgerald, Senior Director of Advancement at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua. “Every dollar raised helps us provide a safe, enriching environment for our community’s youth to grow, learn, and thrive.”

At the tournament, the Club proudly honored its 2025 Youth of the Year, Tiana Brown. Tiana went on to represent New Hampshire at the Northeast Regional Youth of the Year competition, where she emerged as the winner. On the day of the golf tournament, she was in Los Angeles representing the entire Northeast at the National Youth of the Year competition. While she didn’t take home the national title, Tiana represented our region with remarkable authenticity, and the Club and all the golfers were cheering her on every step of the way.

Sponsors play a vital role in the tournament’s success, with Tulley Automotive Group serving as this year’s lead sponsor. Additional support was generously provided by Main Street Private Wealth Management, Southern New Hampshire Health, Toyota of Nashua, the Market Basket/Demoulas Foundation, and over 45 more local businesses and individuals. Proceeds from the event directly benefit Boys & Girls Club programs that support academic success, leadership development, and healthy lifestyles for local youth.
