Over 1000 children attended the Colonial Invitational Youth Clinic on Monday afternoon May 24. This included students from Charles Nash Elementary school in Fort Worth that is part of the National School Program pilot program that we brought you earlier on this blog. Colonial CC provided the funding for buses to transport the students to and from the course. Many families attended the clinic and Fed-Ex Fore Ever announcement done by Hank Haney. RadioDisney provided a free concert. So thanks to Colonial CC, Nike Golf, Radio Disney and Crowne Plaza for providing such a great event!
The Wednesday Caddie Day at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial was also a big hit! Many of the players allowed the students to putt out for them on the 13th green. The Henry House Foundation and golfer J.J. Henry also provided the Henry House hideway along the 10th tee and fairway; this skybox was a cool place for the kids and their families at the tournament to get out of the heat and enjoy a free lunch. The neighboring skybox funded by GolfConnectionUSA also opened their doors in order to accomodate more families so we really had access to two suites! Thanks to Bryan Lank and Pam Wood for providing this extra space as well as drinks and snacks.
