Pre-Game Fun

Our volunteers were stationed outside of the club house, getting the everyone ready for some fun and handing out complimentary t-shirts! Golfers also had the chance to purchase mulligans, 50/50 tickets, and raffle tickets.
Inside the clubhouse were over 40 raffle baskets from over 90 local businesses and community members! Gifts included a signed Pittsburgh Penguins jersey and puck, passes to 8 different Pittsburgh museums, and over $600 in gift cards to local restaurants!
Tee-ing Off
At 11am, golfers made their way to their respective holes to kick off the tournament, but that wasn’t the end of the fun! Golfers had the chance to compete for Closest to the Pin on Hole 2, Longest Drive on Hole 6, and a Hole-in-One Contest on Hole 7 with the chance to win a brand-new 2025 Cadillac XT4 courtesy of Smail Buick GMC Cadillac in Greensburg, PA.
Golfers also had a chance to win some prizes with on-course games! Hole 14 featured Spin the Wheel where golfers could press their luck for prize or a penalty, Guess the Tees in the Jar, and another Hole-in-One contest courtesy of Smail Buick GMC Cadillac for a chance to win a Shot Scope! There was also a contest on the putting green and a Precision Shot contest on Hole 11 where golfers could test their skills!
Dinner Ceremony
As golfers made their way in from the course, they were greeted by live music from Life of Brian and a buffet style dinner from Rizzo's Malabar Inn. While the golfers ate and enjoyed the music, the Meadowink staff tallied up the scores and we began drawing tickets for the basket raffle and 50/50!
After the winning team was announced and all baskets were won, we finished off the day with a Happy Hour in the club house with live music by Silverjaw!
