The 2009 John Webb Winter Golf Tournament is DONE and COMING SOON!
The 2009 John Webb Winter Golf Tournament – the seventh tournament – was played on January 31, 2009. It was a sunny, crisp day at Scenic Hills Country Club; a beautiful day to play golf. The clubhouse is beautiful after a post-Hurricane Ivan renovation! The staff, including golf event coordinator, Jason Young, were professional, friendly, and accommodating to volunteers and golfers alike.
John Webb, now a retired professional baseball player and currently coaching baseball where he lives in Scottsdale, AZ, announced that the tournament would now be played in October each year. “We want to continue to bring a charity golf tournament that is fun and raises money to support local children who must fight life-threatening illnesses. We will hold our first October tournament on October 10, 2009.”
