Dear Golfers,
I suspect this might interest some of you. The Outpost Foundation is conducting an online auction for its Emergency Relief Fund and there are some rather exciting opportunities to play with well known architects, including Tom Doak at The Loop, Gil Hanse at Ohoopee, Mike DeVries at Kingsley and Rob Collins at Sweetens Cove. Zac Blair has offered a tour of his proposed site for The Buck Club near Aiken, S.C., followed by a round at Palmetto. There's also a number of architecturally related opportunities, including a round with Andy Johnson at Old Sandwich and one with two of the No Laying Up guys. In addition, there are some notable sports celebrities.

These grants will provide emergency aid to independent contractors in the golf industry that face unforeseen expenses that cannot or will not be covered by insurance or other means. Members of the golf community who rely on gratuities such as caddies, locker room attendants, and outside services workers need our help as they grapple with the hardships resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier this spring, the OF ERF raised and distributed $175,000 in $1,000 unit grants to 175 individuals. We were so overwhelmed with the applications that it prompted this second round of fundraising.
We thank you for considering a bid.
