“As a Board member of the High Fives Foundation and growing up playing at Sugarbush Golf Club, it is awesome to see the two entities combine in such a fun event,” said Jesse Murphy, Co-Owner of Vermont North Ski Shops. “This is surely one of my favorite events of the summer, and I am excited to see what’s in store for the 3rd Annual High Fives East Coast Charity Golf Tournament.”
The 3rd Annual High Fives East Coast Charity Golf Tournament at Sugarbush Resort Golf Club will begin at 10:00am with player registration. Lunch from Mutha Stuffers will be served at 11:00am, and a “Break the Glass” competition will begin at 11:15am, where golfers will attempt to shatter a pane of glass by hitting golf balls at it from a challenging distance. Following the “Break the Glass” competition, golfers will have an opportunity to “Hit the Gondola” in which an old gondola cart from Sugarbush Ski Resort will be set-up as a target at 11:30am. High Fives Foundation Co-Founder and Executive Director, Roy Tuscany will then lead into announcements at 11:50am and at 12:15pm a group photo will be taken to celebrate this special day. At 12:30pm, teams of four will hit the fairways of the Sugarbush Resort Golf Club and work together in a scramble format attempting to win amazing prizes from a list of great sponsors.
While on the course, players will have the chance to participate in many on course challenges (including baseball bat long drive, closest to the pin, long drive and pay the pro) to win additional prizing.
