The Metropolitan Golf Association Caddie Scholarship Fund is excited to announce its full slate of events for 2023. The CSF schedule features events at some of the marquee venues in the Westchester/Connecticut area. With many great events on the calendar as the summer begins, get set for this year’s CSF schedule with each event previewed below.
48th Alumni Reunion – Monday, July 10th @ Mount Kisco Country Club
This outing serves as a very special day for the Fund where it can unite alumni together under a common bond that will last a lifetime. For every attendee who participates, a donation is made to the CSF. For almost 50 years the event has been a great way to reconnect with alumni from past CSF classes. Last year’s event closed out the season at Ardsley Country Club and this season the Fund is excited to head north to begin the event season at Mount Kisco.
15th CSF Golf Marathon – August 21st @ Siwanoy Country Club
Supporters of the fund race around a course, trying to play as many holes as they can in one day. The MGACSF Marathon has grown into the program’s largest one-day fundraiser thanks to the dedication of participants and supporting clubs. In 2022 that remained the case as the Marathon smashed its previous fundraising record by close to $30,000 The 2022 MGACSF Marathon was held at Shorehaven Country Club. For a third year in a row the overall fundraising record, along with the individual fundraising record were broken. In addition, last year’s marathon broke the record for most holes played during the event, with 2,796 holes recorded by the 48 golfers at Shorehaven.
9th Friends of the Fund Invitational – Thursday, September 14th @ Ferry Point
The Friends of the Fund Invitational is an event created to celebrate those who contribute to the WGACSF. The Friends of the Fund Invitational is a great way for those who have given to the CSF to get out and enjoy a round together. For the first time in the nine-year history of the event, Hudson National will not host due to renovations at the course this season. Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point is one of the premier public course in the Met Area and boasts stunning views of the New York City skyline, as well as a tremendous links style course. The Friends of the Fund event was conceived with the mission of making new friends and introducing them to the important work of the Caddie Scholarship Fund.
8th Christopher C Hickey Invitational – Monday, October 2nd @ Country Club of Darien
Since it began, the CCH Invitational has been hosted by the Country Club of Darien. Started in 2016 by Caddie Scholarship Fund board member Greg Hickey, the CCH Invitational serves as a very special event paying tribute to his late twin brother Chris. The 7th Annual CCH Invitational raised over $100,000 and in the seven-year history of the event, over $1 million has been raised in support of the CCH scholars of the MGACSF. With great momentum from last year’s event, the CCH will head back to Darien for what promises to be another incredible year for the event.
42nd CSF Pro-Am – Monday, October 16th @ Wee Burn Country Club
For over 40 years the Pro-Am has been one of the largest fundraising events for the CSF. The event consistently visits some of the top course in the Met Area and 2023 is no different. Wee Burn Country Club is a true championship test, regularly hosting local U.S. Open Qualifying rounds and MGA tournaments.
