Hi Mark,
What a difference a year makes! With all of the struggles that have been a part of people's everyday lives for the past 4 months, it is nice to see that the game we all love so much can still be played safely under the protocols for COVID 19.
Not only are there new protocols to play golf by, there are also some new golf courses to enjoy with The GTA AM Tour this year! The Nest Golf Club at Friday Harbour is new to the roster and should prove to be an exciting challenge to all of the players!
As players, you have helped support our endeavour to bring awareness to The Darling Home For Kids (DHFK) and the fabulous work they do providing high quality respite and palliative care services for children who are medically fragile and technology dependent. We continue our support of The Darling Home For Kids again this year at the P J Dermody Insurance Classic on Monday July 20, 2020. Similar to 2019, our support will include a donation of $20 for each birdie, $50 for each eagle and $250 for any hole in one scored at the event. In 2019, our combined donation from this event again raised just over $4,000 for The Home! Let's see what we can do to top that this year!!
What is changing this year is how donations may be made. In place of Cash donations at the event, I would encourage those who can, to donate online directly at: darlinghomeforkids.ca/pjdermody
This year donations will be used for The Embrace Campaign. All donations directed specifically to the Campaign will be matched by Orlando Corporation!
Tax receipts are provided with your online donation. We are all winners when we can play a game that we love so passionately and at the same time support the needs of children.
In addition to our support of the DHFK we also provide a draw for four $250 Gift Cards at the Tour Championship On Sunday October 46, 2020. Participating in the draw is easy! You can obtain ballots in the following ways:
1. All those registered to play at the P.J. Dermody Insurance Classic on Monday, July 20, 2020 receive 1 ballot
3. Purchase any form of insurance from P.J. Dermody Insurance Brokers and receive 5 ballots
Mark, in challenging times, such as what we are living in these days, the cream always rises to the top. You and your team do a great job of keeping us safe, making us all feel like pros, with on course assistance and prizing second to none. The fellowship that has developed out of this community is a major reason a lot of players return each year. The selection of top rated courses keeps getting better!
Congratulations on a job well done!
In the meantime ... Support a great cause! Stay Safe! Play Well, and Keep it in the short grass!!
Sincerely,
Paul Dermody,AIIC, CAIB
