Charity Shoot-Out

2009 BIRDIES FOR CHARITY SHOOT-OUT

To give back to the local charities supported by the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and to involve the professional golfers participating in the AT&T tournament with our local charities, the Foundation hosted the Birdies for Charity Shoot-Out on February 10, 2009. Prior Foundation grantees were invited to participate in a Qualifier held earlier; 57 amateur golfers representing the Birdies for Charity participants engaged in a closest-to-the-pin competition. The four winners of the Qualifier were represented by the four professional teams in the Charity Shoot-Out, and there were purses for both the professional teams and the charities. The winning charities’ amateur golfers who participated in the Qualifier served as leaderboard carriers for their teams.

The teams and their charities were:

1. Jonathan Byrd & Charles Warren – Beacon House
2. Brad Faxon & Scott McCarron – Jacob’s Heart
3. Steve Lowery & Parker McLachlin – SPCA for Monterey County
4. J.J. Henry & Hunter Mahan – Hospice of Santa Cruz County
