Interesting golf fact: Did you know that it's estimated 300 million golf balls are lost each year on US golf courses alone! A company called Found Golf Balls collects and resells lost golf balls, and estimates the average golfer loses 1-4 golf balls per round. It's said professional divers recovering golf balls can make $100,000 a year.

When it comes to our FORE! the Memories Golf Tournament, our goal is to raise as much as we can for the Alzheimer's Association of Georgia, Anchor Place and our community outreach projects. Our search is for sponsors and auction items, not old golf balls, and here's where we stand:

• Sponsors: We have successfully secured all of our event sponsors and have 19 hole sponsors. We continue to look for a Platinum and Signature sponsor and can take as many more hole sponsors, contributing sponsors, donating sponsors and participating sponsors as possible with the hope that every Dunwoody Rotarian is participating in this fundraiser at some level whether that be as a golfer, as a sponsor or as a volunteer.
• Auction: We have about 10 items and we continue to look for quality items to display at the after event auction so please continue to work with Neal and his team on things like restaurant gift cards. hotel packages and destination deals as well as new, unique gift items.
• Golfers: If you are planning on playing golf and have a foursome, please let Rick Woods know names & handicaps as soon as possible so that he can start building that list for the club.

Thanks again for the support of our major fundraiser for 2026. So far we’re looking pretty good. www.rcdgolftournament.com is up-to-date thanks to Hoshi’s weekly diligence.
