On March 27, 2011 the first Living Free Golf Event took place at Golden Era Golf Course in Hemet. It was sponsored by the Grandfather’s for Golf Program with all proceeds going to Living Free.
The day began rainy and fears mounted as the rain continued. Would anyone come to play? As it turned out 60 players from Hemet, Idlywild, Temecula and San Jacinto participated. Many visiting Canadians were there and said the rain would not have deterred them as they were used to this kind of golfing weather in Canada.
Newphie, one of the Living Free rescues, came along with his buddy Gus a rescue who brought his owner, Linda Williams, to cheer the golfers on. Various golf games were a part of the day with participants winning prizes provided by Living Free.
Home made baked goods, fruit, and assorted muffins, bagels and homemade jam were served to keep up the strength of the golfers. The sun did shine eventually and the day was a great success. Profits from this event will go toward various projects planned this summer at Living Free.
Thank you to all who participated and for your support to Living Free. Please see below for photos of the day.
