Fort Bend Cares Golf Open Championship Brings Twist to Classic Fundraiser

---

Fort Bend Cares is proud to partner with Presenting Sponsor Finnegan Auto Group for its new Open Championship Golf Tournament on Friday, May 1st and Saturday, May 2nd at Fort Bend Country Club. Led by a committee of golf enthusiasts, the charitable foundation hopes to raise funds by encouraging golfers of all skill levels to partake in this two-day challenge.

The tournament is a four-ball/stroke play competition, where two competitors play as partners, each playing their own ball, as opposed to the traditional charity four-man scramble teams. The lower score of the partners is the score for the hole.

The event will feature various flights determined by team handicaps, with starting times based on scores within the flights. Friday events will begin late morning and continue throughout the day with entertainment, food, beverages and great prizes for all golfers. Saturday events will begin early morning and conclude with an awards ceremony in the early afternoon. Team prices are $400 for two people for two days, and sponsorships start at $500. All proceeds from the event benefit disadvantaged children and youth in Fort Bend County.
