Father's Day Father/Child Charity Golf Tournament

Thurs., June 17, 2010

at Wildcat Golf Club, 12000 Almeda Houston, Texas 77045

The annual Father’s Day Father/Child Charity Golf Tournament is held on the Thursday before Father’s Day every year and benefits the Houston Parks and Recreation Department's First Tee of Houston Junior Golf Program and Athletes Seeking Knowledge Education Fund. The tournament, originated by Dr. Norman Berkman in 2002, has been a very successful and popular event where fathers can play a game of golf with their children to celebrate Father’s Day, and support a worthy cause at the same time. The First Tee Junior Golf Program now has countless successful “graduates” who are making a difference in the golfing and business community. Former President George H.W. Bush, the National Chair for the First Tee Program, has touted the programs ability to teach leadership skills, self-discipline, self-esteem and self-respect along with the game of golf.
