Deerhurst Resort’s Lakeside golf course was awash in pink on June 15 as the 12th annual Golf Fore the Girls tournament teed off in support of the Huntsville Hospital Foundation.
At last year’s event, Deerhurst unveiled two pink golf carts and committed to donating a portion of their rental fees to the cause. Before the ladies headed out on the course, Deerhurst’s head pro Ryan Barry said that the resort would be donating $845 to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation from those rentals.
“I’ve been playing golf for a lot of years and I never knew it could be this fun,” said Mayor Scott Aitchison. “It’s clear that the girls always have more fun than the boys.”
The teams, many decked out in fabulous costumes and decorated carts with signs like ‘Tutus for Tatas’, ‘We Give a Hoot, Give Cancer the Boot’, and ‘Save the Boob-Bees’, played an 18-hole scramble before heading inside for a delicious lunch and awards.
