2010 Green Coat Old Timers Golf Challenge

The Green Coat Club and the Greensboro Jaycee Old Timers are proud to extend an
invitation to participate in the re-scheduled GREEN COAT/OLD TIMERS GOLF CHALLENGE. We encourage you to join us as a player and/or sponsor. The tournament will be held Monday, October 25, 2010 at Sedgefield Country Club. In an effort to be inclusive as possible, members of the Green Coat Club, Jaycee Old Timers, Greensboro Jaycee Life Members, Greensboro Jaycee Board of Directors, the Wyndham Championship Executive Committee, active Jaycees and their guests are invited.

The “shotgun” start will be at 1:00 pm. A social and awards party will begin immediately after the last group has finished. We have planned an event that will be exciting for golfers of all skill levels. Individuals over fifty-five may play the senior tees, ladies may play the women’s tees and everyone else will play the members tees. You may enter a four-person team or we will place you on a team. The format will be Captain’s Choice with handicaps. There will be prizes for gross and net. Included are several contests such as the long drive, closest to the pins, and many more. Goods and services you may wish to donate for door prizes will be accepted and appreciated.

Those not wishing or available to play golf can attend the Awards Party and Dinner at a price of $16.00 a person. Spouses are welcome. The Social and Awards Dinner are inclusive in the golfers’ fee of $95.00 per person.

Note from Hal Greeson

"I'm pretty sure no one cares about this but me, but it occurred to me last night that today marks 100 years from the day that Henry Giessenbier, a young bank teller in St. Louis, Mo. and member of the Herculaneum Dancing Society, brought together representatives of some of the bigger and better dancing clubs of that City, and, in the upstairs room of the Mission Inn formed the Young Men's Progressive Civic Association (the YMPCA), which later became the Junior Citizens, and then the Junior Chamber of Commerce and, finally, the Jaycees. Henry got the room free because his father was headwaiter there, thereby establishing one of the guiding principles of Jayceeism "If you can't afford it, get it donated." If I'm right about that date (and I'm not far off) this is the 100th Aniversary of the First Jaycee Project! Cool, Huh?"
