Golf: Inaugural LoCo Open Amateur Championship

Here is some news on the inaugural LoCo Open Amateur Championship which will take place this weekend at Westpark Golf Club in Leesburg:

Welcome to the Inaugural LoCo Open Amateur Championship
Presented by LoCo Musings
October 9-11, 2009

During my 11 years at Westpark, we have helped hundreds of local groups raise money for various charities in Loudoun County.  I have always wanted to host an event for a cause that I personally believed in, and after talking with some of my members who play in a great event at Beaver Creek Country Club called the WACO Open I decided now was the time. 

If it wasn't for the junior golf programs in my hometown, it's very likely I would not have been able to play golf, let alone develope a passion for the game that turned into a career.  The availabilty to play and practice at local clubs, receive quality instruction from PGA professionals, and participate in tournaments with other juniors of the same skill level were extremely influential in my life and gave me an opportunity that I otherwise would not have had.  With those thoughts in mind, the LoCo Open was born.  Our mission is to raise money for all aspects of Junior golf in Loudoun county.  This year, funds will go to support a Loudoun County High School scholarship, and with your support , various other junior golf activities throughout the county.  If you are interested in volunteering or would like to make a donation of any kind, please send me an e-mail or contact the golf shop at 703-777-7023.  To view the registration form, click here.  We hope to see you on the course for what will be our premier event of the season and thank you for your participation!
