It is almost time for the 2014 Rounds 4 Research Auction to begin. Running from June 9-22, 2014 you will once again have the opportunity to bid on rounds of golf at some of the best golf courses in America, including some exclusive clubs that the general public is not able to play. The best part of the Rounds 4 Research program is that while you are getting to enjoy these great golf courses you are also supporting and funding environmental research, scholarships and education, and outreach and awareness efforts.
A total of 20 golf courses in Tennessee have donated rounds this year and we hope momentum will continue to grow for this program and other courses will become involved in future years. The rounds are usually foursomes but some courses have designated special packages to sweeten the pot. Some of the courses available for bidding this year are TPC Southwind in Memphis, Council Fire Golf Club in Chattanooga, Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, the Tellico Village Golf Courses of Toqua, Tanasi, and Kahite, along with the entire Tennessee Golf Trail Collection, to name a few.
So here is how the Rounds4Research program works.
3) Following your successful winning of the bid EIFG (Environmental Institute for Golf) will send you a voucher or certificate for your round or package which you can then take to the golf course to redeem.
4) Here is the great part. At least 80% of the bid amount is returned to the local GCSAA chapter that the round was donated to. In the case of the Tennessee courses, the funds come back to Tennessee GCSA.
5) You get to feel good about helping the environment while enjoying a round of golf.
The auction is only successful if the rounds are bid on. So tell your friends and neighbors, and even your enemies, to go to
www.rounds4research.com to register to bid and to be prepared from June 9-22, 2014 to help yourself to some great golf while also benefiting the environment and environmental programs.
