A summer staple at Pine Ridge Golf Club since 2011, the "World's Largest Golf Outing" -- an annual event run by Billy Casper Golf -- will move its tee time up to the spring this year while still raising money for American servicemen and women.
The 2017 WLGO is scheduled for Monday, May 1 at more than 100 courses across the country, including Pine Ridge, Long Island's lone participant. Proceeds will benefit the Fisher House Foundation and Arnie's Army.
Pine Ridge's leg of the multi-state golf outing will include separate morning (8:00) and afternoon (2:00) start times. Entry fee is $65 per player, with $10 from each registration -- plus all additional donations -- going to the two charities. The fee covers cart, range balls, lunch, an awards reception and some golf-related parting gifts. Format for the tournament is four-person scramble.
Register for the event by visiting the World's Largest Golf Outing website. You can also sponsor a team or make an online donation.
Since its initial event in 2011, Billy Casper Golf has raised more than $3.5 million for various military charities, including the Wounded Warrior Project, through the World's Largest Golf Outing. The Fisher House Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides comfort homes for military and veteran family members at no cost while their loved ones receive medical treatment. Arnie's Army Charitable Foundation provides financial support to institutions and organizations that help children, youth, families, the environment and local communities.
