DANVERS – On Tuesday, May 31, Essex County Habitat for Humanity will hold its first annual Golf Fore Homes Golf Tournament at the Ferncroft Country Club in Middleton.
The organization will be raising funds to help build affordable homes throughout Essex County. In the last year, 10 families have moved into their new or rehabbed homes with 18 more homes permitted or currently under construction in seven different towns.
With a 1:00pm shotgun start and a scramble format, the game will be even more interesting when players purchase a Golden Hammer Ticket that includes 2 mulligans, 5 raffle tickets, entry into the 50/50 Casino Hole and 2 strings; each string is of varying length and allows the player to move their ball that much closer to the hole.
“This is a great way to support Habitat and the work we do to provide local affordable housing, while also enjoying a day of golf! We hope you can join us!” says Heather Johnston, Director of Charitable Giving.
For non-golfers, there is an opportunity to support Essex County Habitat by participating as a sponsor at any one of eight different levels.
