First Tee of Howard County is once again selling Charity Mania golf sweepstakes tickets for 2020 — a great opportunity to sharpen your focus on the four golf majors*, support our area’s premier youth development organization, and have the chance to win cash prizes!
PGA Championship August 6-9, 2020
U.S. Open: September 17-20, 2020
The Masters: November 12-15, 2020
This is “Fantasy Golf” without the work and commitment, for a great cause!
Tickets can be purchased online, or by calling us at 410-730-1114 or emailing thefirsttee@columbiaassociation.org. We had about 15 winners last year from $25 to $200.
*Unfortunately, the 2020 British Open was cancelled due to COVID-19. GolfMania will use scores from a replacement tournament (The Masters) to calculate winners. Therefore, when the Masters is played, GolfMania will calculate winners for both the British Open and the Masters contests at the same time, but independent of each other.
The golfers assigned to the British Open on all GolfMania game cards will be awarded scores from their performance in The Masters on November 12-15. The odds of winning and calculation of winners will be the same as if the British Open had been played. The winners for this contest will simply be based on the golfers’ scores from The Masters instead.
We want to donate $$ to “First Tee” in memory of our beloved friend and former neighbor Len Svensson, an avid golfer who supported “First Tee” and who passed away on July 13. Non-golfers (no equipment to donate and not interested in the Fantasy Golf tournament), we need to know how to contribute. If we should just write a check, how do we address it? I notice you have no “donations” suggested other than equipment. That’s too bad as families of deceased golfers might want to suggest cash donations to First Tee as a possible way to memorialize their loved one. Blessings for your good work.
Hi Betty, thank you so much for your thoughtful wish to donate in memory of your dear friend.
