EJ Tegner "Let's Bet on Youth" Golf Tournament

Tuesday, May 30, 2017 will be the third annual E.J. Tegner “Let’s Bet on Youth” Golf Tournament. E.J. Tegner was an avid golfer and his love of the sport will live on with the foundation. “E.J. would be pleased to see the impact and improvement on the lives of youth through access and education in golf,” says Marilyn Wood, who seeded the fund with $200,000 in memory of her late husband.

“It’s tremendously gratifying to be part of the team who created the E.J Tegner - Let’s Bet on Youth Golf Foundation.  Making a difference in kids' lives is what really matters most!" quotes longtime friend Kevin Murphy.

EJ Tegner “Golf in Schools Program” month long program is offered at area elementary schools. The instructors are PGA Golf Professionals and the program is funded by the foundation. This year all 3rd and 4th grade elementary school kids in the Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District were able to participate, which is over 500 kids.

Other groups the EJ Tegner Foundation has been able to help include: North Tahoe Golf Team, Truckee Golf Team and The Fred Alexander Memorial Family Golf Clinic 

On May 30th, a fun day is planned with 18 holes of golf, longest drive, closest to the pin and putting contest. It will be held at Old Greenwood Golf Course. The format is four person, two net better ball. Cost is $400 per team and/or $100 per person. If you would like to make additional donations we have sponsorships available. 

Come out and enjoy the day for a great cause. All proceeds go directly to the foundation.
