Vintner's 18-Hole Charity/Golf/Wine & Dine event
Saturday, May 31st, 9:30am

Wine It's time again for our very popular Vintner Golf Event.  This event benefits our charities: Wardrobe for Opportuinty and LPGA-USGA Girls Golf. 
 
Vintner's Golf Course is located in the Napa Valley in Yountville off Highway 29.  (It's a 9-hole course but we go around twice from different tees.)  This is a fun 18-hole scramble event that includes free range balls, games and prizes, goody bags and concludes with a delicious hot lunch after the event. 
 
The cost of this event is $90 and the deadline to register is Friday, May 23rd.  (After May 23rd the cost will be $100 if space is still available, includes $10 late fee.)  We will also sell tickets at the event for mulligans, split-the-pot and raffle bags.  There will also be an auction for special items.  Shotgun start at 9:30am.  Please check in at the course no later than 9:00am.
