1st Annual Fire Buck Charity Golf
About This Event
We are extremely excited to announce the 1st Annual Fire Buck Charity Golf event! This event will be held at The Links at Groveport in Groveport, Ohio on Saturday, August 27th 2011. Tee-time will begin at 8:00a.m. and last until 10:20a.m., with room for 60 golfers (15 teams of 4). We will be using a new 'Half-Scramble' format to facilitate game play, without rushing through the course.
Also included with this event will be a lunch buffet, drinks, and a 50/50 raffle. We are also working on a potential silent auction, in which all proceeds will go to charity as well. If you are able to contribute to the silent auction, please let us know. Gift cards and Gift baskets are our most desirable items.
Proceeds will benefit a local Teen Suicide Prevention Center in the Greater-Columbus area and will be donated in memory of Leah Piteo, who lost her life on Tuesday, April 12th 2011.
About The Charity
While it has already been determined that proceeds will go to Teen Suicide Prevention, the specific organization is still being determined at this time. Once the specific organization has been determined, we will update all aspects of the website with the organizations name and information.

We encourage everyone to register as early as possible to help us properly plan for this event. Please pre-register by using this registration form. Once we have received your information, we will send you a confirmation email to verify your details. Once the form has been received, a payment option will be presented. A minimum non-refundable deposit
of $20 (golfer) or $15 (non-golfer) will be required, however, you may pay in full if you so desire. Once the payment is made, you will be issued your free 50/50 raffle tickets, and you will be eligible to win, regardless if you continue to participate or not.
Game Rules
Like a scramble, players take the best shot out of all players, and play your next stroke from that position.
On a par 3 or less hole, scramble for 1 stroke, then all players play as normal.
On a par 4 or greater hole, scramble for 2 strokes, then all players play as normal.
This style of play will allow for a quick start, without rushing through the entire course. This will allow you to enjoy more of your game than a typical scramble would allow for.
50/50 Raffle
The 50/50 Raffle is the only aspect of the event that is not specifically a charitable drawing. However, we strongly encourage all individuals to donate at least one of your raffle tickets to charity by writing the word 'charity' in the name portion of your ticket. You may leave the charitable ticket as an 'anonymous' donation by leaving off any additional information, or you may add your name to the ticket and it will be submitted to the charity in your name.
Additional tickets may be purchased at the following rates: 1 for $1, 8 for $5 and 20 for $10. You do not need to attend the golf event in order to participate. Tickets can be ordered online, or in person at anytime before the event, and during the event.
The drawing will be held at the end of the silent auction, which finishes after the scramble. You do not need to be present to win.
