Warrior Classic – Golden Boys

Posted on by

On Monday, September 24, Pebble Creek Golf Course will host the 4th annual Warrior Classic golf outing. For the previous three Classics, the Golden Boys have taken up a collection and donated to the Upstate Warriors Solutions organization. In addition, we have sponsored a foursome in the Classic.  Once again, we will take up a collection and sponsor a foursome in the classic.

Eric Kuhn has volunteered to coordinate between the Golden Boys and the Classic organizers. Please give your donations to Eric or to any Board member before or after golf or mail your donation to Eric, 2 Bobby Jones Ct., Greenville, SC 29609.

We would like to have the sponsored foursome be veterans. However, if we do not get enough veterans to volunteer by Monday, September 10 we will open it up to any Golden Boy. Please contact Eric, 244-4259 or his cell 513-508-4749, if you would like to play in the Classic.
