Wellington, Fla. (February 2, 2021) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County’s 39th Annual Wellington Golf Classic was a success, despite changes due to COVID-19. The event held on Friday, January 29 at the Wellington National Golf Club in Wellington, Fla. was filled with excitement as guests gathered, while following important CDC guidelines to benefit the Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington. This year’s golf tournament consisted of perfect weather and over 40 golfers who took to the course for a day of golf in support of local children. The tournament kicked off at noon with a shotgun start, including an auction and awards celebration to follow.
“Even in these unique times, and despite a postponement of a few months, I am happy to say that our 39th Annual Wellington Golf Classic was a tremendous success,” said Wellington Board Chair, Louis Eisenberg. “The funds raised from this event will go a long way in helping the members of the Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington.”
The first place foursome and reigning champions of the Wellington Golf Classic are Elliot Bonner, Nick Rose, Brad Shofstall, and Rick Bielen. Closest to the pin winner is Craig Morris.
