Camp Spofford Golf Classic 2012

"A Benefit for the Camper Scholarship Fund"

20th Annual Camp Spofford Golf Classic

Celebrating Camp Spofford’s 50 Years of Christian Camping

This year we are excited to present the 20th Annual Golf Classic in conjunction with Camp Spofford’s celebration of 50 years of Christian Camping. Last year’s event was close to a sell out with 131 golfers contributing to a fun and eventful day with constant laughter and great fellowship. The 2011 Golf Classic raised $21,523 for the Camper Scholarship Fund where 75 Camper Scholarships were awarded and no proceeds are used for camp administrative costs.

As we are in the planning stages for the 2012 Golf Classic, we encourage you to check back for weekly updates pertaining Registration, New Events, and Available Sponsorships. Until then, be sure to check out the 2011 Golf Classic Pictures, Sponsors and Events.

History

The first Camp Spofford Golf Classic was held in the spring of 1991 with a group of 40 individuals who gathered together for Christ-Centered fellowship, fun, and encouragement in their Christian walk. Since its inception, the Golf Classic has grown consistently in participants and outreach, and presently averages 120 players each year, providing Christian Fellowship with a purpose.

As the Camp Spofford Golf Classic continues to grow, our goals have remained consistent throughout:

Camper Scholarship Fund

Since 1997 the Camper Scholarship Fund, established through the Golf Classic, has assisted in providing full and partial scholarships to families who could not afford to send their children to camp for a week. Over 400 scholarships have been presented since the development of this fund. And through this, these kids were able to encounter the "Spofford Experience," encompassing the presentation of the Word of God and plan of salvation, as well as His love through the beauty of His creation and Camp's Staff. (Note: People are welcome to donate to the Camper Scholarship fund without having to participate in the Golf Outing.)

It is exhilarating to see, read and hear of the impact this ministry has had on the hearts and lives of campers made available through this program. This has been made evident through personal phone calls, the exchange of letters, and school presentations following the camp experience.

For a cost of $5, the first player to sink a Hole-in-One at the designate Par 3 hole will win $5,000. But that’s not all! Any participant entering this contest will be awarded a sleeve of golf balls if their drive lands on the green!

Oldies But Goodies

Putting Contest Free for All Players – First Come, First served

All players can participate in the PUTTING CONTEST for Great Prizes. Due to the number of players, each player can enter this contest One Time Only. As we are pressed for time, the contest will end when the Group Picture is taken. Be sure to play early so you’re not left out.

Closest to the Line

A line will be placed and noted at one of the fairways. The drive from the Tee that is Closest- to- the- Line will be the winner. All players will compete for one prize. As the contest is Closest- to- the- Line, if you overdrive the line….nice shot but you loose. Reminder, that’s why it’s called Closest to the Line.

Spofford Stimulus Package

Win all three special contests and you’ll win Bigger and Better! If you Win the longest drive, a closest to the pin contest, and closest to the line award, you will Win the Spofford Stimulus Package - a free registration fee for you and a guest for the 2013 Spofford outing.

Mulligans

Mulligans will be available for purchase at $5 each. This year each player can purchase up to 2. While Mulligans can be used throughout play, they can not be used to win a prize on the Contest Holes.

Golfy Tray

Many have asked for additional chances to win some of the magnificent prizes. We will again have the Golfy Tray, the same as a Tricky Tray…But Different! You will be able to purchase tickets for two levels of prizes. There are no restrictions on the number of tickets you can purchase or the number of gifts you can win.

Silent Auction

We are once again expanding our fund raising efforts and meet the many suggestions by past golfers. This year, in addition to the “Golfy Tray” (just like a Tricky Try but Different) we are expanding to include the higher donated items in a Silent Auction. Last year’s selection included Two different Golf Packages, Two sets of Yankee Tickets, and a Leica Point and Shoot Camera

Check back closer to the outing date to see what the selection will be this year!
