The picturesque greens of Redwood Canyon Golf Course played host to the H.A.R.D. Foundation’s 37th Annual Golf Tournament on October 9th. With over 20 sponsors and 109 golfers in attendance, it was a day filled with camaraderie, competition, and charitable spirit.

Golfers teed off after a warm noon registration, enjoying a bucket of balls at the driving range and a satisfying lunch before embarking on a challenging 18-hole journey. The day wasn’t just about golf; it featured exciting games and contests. Connor Sterritt, a long drive pro from Charity Golf International, demonstrated the art of hitting a golf ball over 400 yards, leaving players in awe. Participants also tried their luck at a hole-in-one contest with a chance to win $10,000 and tested their driving skills by attempting to drive marshmallows from the tee box.

Cuando el sol se ocultó en el horizonte, los golfistas terminaron sus rondas y se reunieron para disfrutar de una deliciosa cena buffet. La velada estuvo amenizada por los ganadores de la rifa y una emocionante subasta silenciosa. La subasta contó con más de 50 artículos, entre ellos una foto autografiada de Klay Thompson, un retiro de yoga en Sedona con todos los gastos pagados, joyas exquisitas, una litografía de Picasso y una selección de cuchillos personalizados Damacus Steel. 

El momento culminante de la velada fue el anuncio de los ganadores del torneo. El Equipo de Yoga de Castro Valley salió victorioso, con una impresionante ronda de 18 bajo par 53. Felicitaciones a Jason, Tim, Jeff y Kurt por su excelente actuación.

This year’s tournament raised nearly $60,000 to support the renovation of the Sulphur Creek Nature Center. A heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, especially Shirley Crawford Balch, whose combined support contributed over $40,000 to the cause. The success of the event wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of more than 20 volunteers, who worked tirelessly to set up and wrap up.
