Mulligans for the Homeless
ATTENTION GOLFERS Our Mulligans for the Homeless group has worked very hard to get ready for a big day ( or two ) in March for a golf tournament unlike any I have been a part of. We have 19 courses signed up to participate in the event, so there is bound to be one you would like to play.
Now we need GOLFERS, we are asking you to join us. If you don't play, share this information with someone that does, please. We can accommodate almost 2,000 players so you see we need all the help we can get; every player that signs up not only gets to spend a day on the course but will also receive a ticket package valued at over $100.00 which is the cost to play.
Tickets provided by The Texas Rangers, Texas Brahmas, Fort Worth Cats, Billy Bob's Texas, Stockyards Championship rodeo and a $10.00 cash card from Golfsmith.
We can also use companies that would be interested in being title sponsor of one of our courses, it is affordable since this is our first of what we plan on being an annual event with a lot of promotion behind it.
Go to our web site and let me know what you think, www.mulliganshome.org, share this with your friends.
