Charity golf tournament · 5th Annual
Supporting education, one swing at a time
A scramble-format day on the green for golfers of every level. Every entry and every sponsorship goes straight into scholarships and resources for students heading to college.
The card: how the day plays
About 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Exact times to be confirmedRegistration, team packets, range balls and coffee before you head out.
All teams tee off together. Scramble play: everyone hits, the team takes the best shot.
Closest to the pin, long drive, marshmallow drive and putting, running across the round.
Lunch and drinks are included with every entry. Nobody plays this one hungry.
Winners announced, prizes handed out, and the auction closes out the afternoon.
Why we play
One day on the course. Scholarships for our students.
The 7-9-W is Dream Big Project's biggest fundraising day of the year. You do not need a handicap to play it. You need three friends and a willingness to lose a ball or two for a good cause.
Every entry and every sponsorship supports Dream Big Project scholarships for students in our community, the same students who walk across the stage at the Scholarship Awards Celebration each summer.

The name
Why 7-9-W
The W is the wedge, a golf club. The full story behind the name, and the 7 and the 9, to be confirmed and added here.
The format
What to expect
Scramble play, teams of four
Everyone hits their own ball and the team plays the best shot. Low pressure, quick pace, and a format that lets a beginner sit comfortably alongside a scratch golfer.
Contests all round
Closest to the pin, long drive, the marshmallow drive and a putting contest. Prizes on the line, and bragging rights that last until next year. Final contest list, including any hole-in-one prize, to be confirmed.
Lunch and drinks included
Lunch and drinks are covered for every player, and your entry includes a golf cart, so you can spend the day on the course rather than hunting for the turn shack.
Awards and auction
The day closes with winners announced, prizes awarded, and a live auction that puts more into the scholarship fund.
