Patriot Golf Day September 3rd-6th
Sparked by the vision and dedication of PGA Professional Dan Rooney, an F-16 fighter pilot, Patriot Golf Day® has raised more than $5.5 million in the past three years. In 2009, more than 3,600 PGA-staffed facilities participated in Patriot Golf Day.

Thanks to the many of you who have participated in this event in prior years; we look forward to your continued support. To date we have raised nearly $4,000 for this worthy cause here at The Seabrook Island Club.

During Patriot Golf Day, golfers nationwide will be asked to donate a minimum of $1 per round to the Folds of Honor Foundation to support families of those who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of duty.

You too will again be able to show your support of those families. Any amount is appropriate from $1.00 to $1,000. Yes, it is billable to your Seabrook account! Please stop by the pro shop over Labor Day weekend to donate or email your request to the golf shop at golf@discoverseabrook.com.
