Upstate Forever's First GOLF TORUNEY
 It was a great day at Carolina Springs Golf Club for Upstate Forever’s first-ever charity golf tournament on June 15. Eighty-eight players on 23 teams participated in the event, which, in conjunction with a silent auction and raffle, raised over $10,000 to support the work of our organization. A huge thank you goes to Sam Phillips, who had the idea for the tournament and agreed to host it at his club. The tournament had a “green theme,” featuring a Ford Escape hybrid as the prize for a hole-in-one (sadly, there was not a winner), and other prizes including biodegradable trees, camping gear, and a mountain bike. Peter Stangel of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation spoke about how to make golf courses more environmentally friendly. Many thanks to everyone who participated and the sponsors listed below. We look forward to next year’s tournament!
