The 34th Annual Meals on Wheels Benefit Golf Tournament presented by "The Dirty Old Men’s Club (DOM)," is schuduled this year for May 13 at Pine Lake Golf Course in Anderson.
In 1972, a group of men who frequently played golf together at Pine Lake Golf Course were endearingly named the Dirty Old Men’s Club by Mildred Foust, who worked in the pro shop along side her husband Bill Foust, who was the golf pro at the club.
The DOM continue to meet every Tuesday to play golf at Pine Lake and host four tournaments throughout the year for their members and guests.
The club has raised thousands of dollars for the non-profit organization. The tournament begins with registration at 11 a.m., followed by lunch at noon. A shotgun start takes place at 1 p.m., and tournament scoring will be Captain’s Choice. Prizes will be awarded for hole-in-one, and longest drive. Other activities include a silent auction and door prizes donated by various local businesses.
The entry fee is $70 per person and includes a round of golf, golf cart, lunch, and beverages. Golfers who wish to participate should contact DOM committee members Vic Vickery at 864.202.1563 or Dave Schonauer at 864.231.9317.
All proceeds from this event will help feed the homebound elderly and disabled of Anderson County.
The tournament is seeking sponsors to help make it a success. Hole sponsorships start at $100 and the title sponsorship spot is $2000.
