Smashing Nines Golf Tournament

Smashing Nines – Golf, mentoring and networking for women all in one! Another way to make some magic happen!

Smashing Nines is hosting a golf tournament at Rebel Creek Golf Club on Thursday, August 18th 2:30pm

The proceeds from the day will be directed to FACS Foundation. We want to ensure we sell out, so please share this with the female golfers in your circles. Ability doesn’t matter, it’s getting out and building skills!

There are 8 spots for girls to join in for this tournament. So, we are also looking for mentors to sign up and cover their own fees.

Smashing Girls is an innovative golf program designed to give girls without access to golf, aged 11-17 the opportunity to learn golf, meet successful women mentors and learn critical interpersonal skills.

The Smashing Girls program partners with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Boys & Girls clubs, local school boards, FACS Foundation and Girls Inc. in order to connect with girls who can benefit from the program. These girls are then paired with mentors from the Smashing program where they can learn about life, careers and maybe even golf too!

The girls receive 4 professional golf lessons and then play 2 rounds of 9 holes with their mentors and finish with their mentors taking them to one Smashing Nines event in the summer. The goal of Smashing is for the girls to realize that they don’t need to be perfect to be successful, that you can miss a shot, and still be a successful professional woman. Smashing Girls participants will gain skills and knowledge to help them have a positive approach to life’s challenges and opportunities. The girls will build confidence, strong interpersonal skills, resilience and the tools and strategies to set personal goals for school and life.

For your reference: A full sponsorship of $500 provides one girl with lessons, equipment, golf accessories and a shirt.
