2017 Mike Strantz Memorial Golf Tournament - Caledonia
« on: March 30, 2017, 01:26:56 PM »
From Heidi Strantz Mortimer:

We have a memorial tournament for Mike this year at Caledonia. We'd love to see you and your team! And, if you could mention the tournament on your favorite golf websites that would be great! The proceeds help MUSC's Hollings Cancer Center.

Thanks!


Heidi

My hospitality at Caledonia was very appreciated last year. As a Mike Strantz fan, I genuinely would love to attend but we are at a family event that weekend in New England.


Thanks

I can't make it either as I'll be in Scotland with Mr. Kluger.


I think I'll just make a donation or sponsor a player in my place. Maybe Kavanaugh would like to play for free.  ;D

This is a really nice thing. Sorry I cannot make it as it is something I would support.

In the past, the tournament has been at Tot Hill Farm.  I played two years ago, but couldn't do it last year.  It's a wonderful charity, well worth the support, with or without golf.

As I do every time, I'll also remind all of you that Mike's family sells prints of his hole drawings, also for charitable causes related to cancer.  The prints are unique, really, and make great gifts for golfers, so keep that in mind for birthdays and Christmas.  I'm sitting in my study typing this with three of the Strantz prints framed and hanging on the walls around me; #8 and #18 at True Blue, and my favorite, #18 at Caledonia.  The Caledonia print is a beautiful watercolor of a beautiful golf hole; I think even your spouses would feel good about it hanging in your home, especially when you explain the cause that it is for.
