Pinehurst UMC to host 2nd Annual UMM Golfing Outing.

golf club and ball - FIThe outing is at Whispering Woods golf course in Whispering Pines, NC, just north of Pinehurst near the Moore Regional Airport, on Wednesday, September 14.

The cost to play is $70.00, all inclusive, and includes lunch.

We are having a special speaker, Tom Stewart, a PGA Pro who has traveled the world speaking about and teaching golf. He now resides in Pinehurst and owns a golf memorabilia and sports book store. There will be a 9 am shotgun start, so we are asking players to arrive at 8:30 am.

The format is a captain’s choice scramble and handicaps of members of each foursome will be calculated by the pro shop in determining winners. There will be prizes and certificates for First, Second Third and Last place.
Men, Women and Youth golfers are welcome. Those wishing to play may form a foursome or sign up as a single and we will put you in a foursome.

Sign up buy call our Pinehurst UMC church office at (910) 215-4559, M-F between 9am and 4pm, on or before Wednesday, September 7. Please have the handicap or average score on 18 holes for each player signing up.

Any participation and/or donation will be appreciated!  Questions?  Contact Dick Mason at maconit2@yahoo.com or 910-603-6117.

The purpose of the Golf Outing is to provide an opportunity  for Christian fellowship while having fun and to raise money for community service mission outreach as well as support church programs.  In 2016 we will be splitting the proceeds between The Bethesda House in Aberdeen and the Children-Youth programs at PUMC.
Bethesda House was founded 44 years ago. It is a residential halfway house for men with drug and alcohol issues. They have 15 beds with 14 out of 15 currently working.
The annual budget is $245,000 with 50% covered by state funds, the United Way, Emmanuel Episcopal Church, etc.  They depend on other outside donations to supplement the budget.  Donations are used primarily for operating expenses.
