Golfers who play any Golf Lane County member course* on Sept. 1 have an opportunity to contribute hundreds of dollars on the first annual Patriot Golf Day. Some courses will match contributions made by golfers, and the money will be sent to Wounded Warriors Inc. to benefit the Fallen Heroes Foundation and local Lane County families of those who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of military duty.

The first annual Patriot Golf Day is a joint venture of the PGA of America and the United States Golf Association. Golf Lane County courses are some of several thousand golf facilities around the country that participate in this unique and meaningful fund raising event.

“Golf has always been a great sport for raising charity funds,” commented Diamond Woods owner Jeff Doyle, “and doing something that both supports and honors those who are wounded or lose their lives serving in the military gained our immediate support.” “ We are very proud that each one of our golfing customers will join our contribution on Sept. 1, in fact we had contributions from golfers playing on days before because they could not play on this day.” said Larry Giustina, owner of Tokatee Golf Club. “Golf Lane County looks forward to participating on Patriot Golf Day next year and every year thereafter.”
