Moonlight Golf - NEW EARLIER DATE! Friday, August 28, 2009 Moonlight Golf is a best-ball, scramble golf outing, with most golfers shuttled via hayrack to starting holes. Golfers then walk the course, playing with no more than three clubs and one putter. The Outing is held at Deerfield Golf Club and Learning Center, 1201 Saunders, in Riverwoods. Maximum of 18 teams accepted –first-come, first-served basis– based on form and payment received. This Moonlight Golf event is often a sell-out, so those interested in participating are encouraged to do so early. Area hotels –some offering shuttle service to and from the Golf Club- are located nearby. Sponsorships are still available. Opportunities range from donations of dinner, beverages, desserts and prizes to Haywagon-, Contest-, and Event/Title- sponsorships. Some In-Kind sponsorships are also possible. Sponsors to date for 2009 include: Penguin Foods, K&M Team Outfitters, Northside Bank and Sam’s Club, Wheeling. All sponsors receive valuable benefits, including mentions in all publicity, programs and follow-up to local papers. Depending upon sponsorship level, opportunities for banner or signs, complimentary teams of golfers and more are also offered. Raffle and other prizes include golf foursomes, hotel overnight stays, dinners and much more. All contributions to the Deerfield Park Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, nongovernmental agency, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Proceeds benefit the Grants-in-Aid program, accessible playground funding, recycling containers for park/school locations, and other programs and services of Deerfield Park District.
