One Divot Auction to Support Midnight Golf (Rd 3: Kemper Lakes, Hidden Creek)
« on: January 30, 2013, 02:42:30 PM »
The first batch of items end at around 9:20 AM ET on Friday Feb 1st. We'll have a few more to auction off for Round 2 (always looking for more!)

As a reminder, 100% of the funds raised will go to support the Midnight Golf Program in Detroit. Plus, my charity will match 20% of the funds up to a total donation of $3,000.  We are at about $7,200 raised for the program so far.

I haven't bid on any, yet, and it would be high bidder.

That was fun watching the items tick down and bids come in at the last second.  Kudos to the generous people out there that paid "charity" rates.  Outstanding effort by all involved.

JIm, I swear to you, this thing you've started., it's just great.

I will always cherish that moment, and the look in your eyes, when you found out the young guns, threw down the gauntlet by walking 72 holes.
