MAVERICKS HIT TEE SHOTS ON HOLE 9
Pretty in Pink is not all about the women! We are grateful for the enthusiastic support of the men of Herons Glen who not only pitched in to help but also came up with their own ways to contribute.
A large part of the money raised for Partners for Breast Cancer Care, our PIP beneficiary, comes from hole sponsorship. This year, signs at each of the golf tees that identified hole sponsors included men’s golf groups that together contributed $3,700. Then there were the Veterans of the Glen, the softball team, and other groups of men and individuals that sponsored holes in memory of or as a tribute to loved ones, in support of those battling cancer, or honoring survivors. Cindy Matheny, chair of the Hole Sponsorship Committee, says her husband Dave was right there with her every step of the way. Other PIP committee chairs say their husbands also were a tremendous help.
Many men were out on the course at various holes, making the day even more special for the lady golfers. Several long drivers of Herons Glen soared tee shots toward the green on Hole 13 (and raised some money for extra shots), men on Hole 17 served refreshments and took photos of each golf group, guys on the par-3s measured for closest-to-the-pin, fished out errant balls, gave putting advice, and (on Hole 4) gave a free ball and a certificate to each woman who landed on the green. The Mavericks golf group was out in force on Hole 9 to clean our clubs, offer refreshment, and hit drives for the ladies (all four at once) to give a good start on the hole. They also provided a pink-ribboned golf ball for each of the golfers.

Did you know there were about a half dozen men who helped with flamingo flocking? They enjoyed it, too! And thank you to all the men who set up and cleaned up, and volunteered their time, talents, and resources in many other ways. We appreciate you, guys! You all went above and beyond to support Pretty in Pink and make the event a big success.
