Minnesota Golfer - Summer 2009 - 23

Chick

Lives
The 3rd Annual Access Golf Classic at Moorhead CC
netted more than $10,000 for charity last year.
Small Standing Tall
While it's impossible to mention all of the
hundreds of smaller charity golf events in
Minnesota that help make up the $52.4
million donated annually, it would be a
mistake to discount their efforts.
" Ten-thousand dollars is a big deal, " says
Kathy Potter of Access of the Red River
Valley (www.accessrrv.org), which
has raised that amount-and
more-in each of the three
years since starting the Access
Golf Classic with help
from former Minnesota
Viking Matt Blair and his
company.
Access of the Red River
Valley, which like Arc Greater
Twin Cities provides services for
people with developmental disabilities,
has embraced golf as a great way to raise
money while increasing exposure for
the organization. Each year, Access uses
the proceeds to do little things that enrich
the lives of the people it supports,
including trips to Twins games, special
needs camps, horseback riding and other
quality-of-life events.
Adds Potter of Access: " When you see
the smiles on their faces and how the
money we've raised helps them get rid of
their headaches, you can't help but feel
grateful to the game of golf. "
So here's to you, golfers of Minnesota.
Simply by playing in charity golf events
across the state, you've brought honor to
Minnesota and the game of golf. Next
time someone tells you golf is all about
excess, share that big number-$52.4
million-and watch them try to argue
with that. MG
The 18th annual Chick Evans Memorial
7-Club Tournament will be
held this year at the White Bear Yacht
Club, Mon., Aug. 3.
As always, golfers are expected to
carry only seven clubs and dress in
early 20th-century period attire (knickers,
caps and ties) in honor of Chick
Evans, who won the 1916 U.S. Open
at Minneapolis's Minikahda Club with
only seven clubs in his bag.
Caddieing for golfers will be
the residents of the University
of Minnesota Evans
Scholar House, who receive
full tuition from
funds raised by Minnesota
golf clubs and
this tournament.
When asked to describe
a particular Evans
Scholar success story, Cheryl
Schneider, chairperson of the tournament,
says, " They're all success
stories. It's the greatest thing in golf
I've seen. " That's nothing to scoff
at, considering Schneider is a former
president of Hazeltine National
and has been involved with almost
every signifi cant tournament to pass
through Minnesota.
