Doug Evans Memorial Family Cup Recap The NENY PGA Section administered our first annual Family Cup in memoriam of our former longtime Tournament Director, Doug Evans. The event had 14 teams/families participate in a fun, out-of-the-box team scramble that allowed for an excellent time for each on the golf course - from competitive, skilled golfers to brand new players! Check out the event activities/contests. The event raised approximately $4,500, BUT there’s still time; if you couldn’t compete or would like to make a donation and contribute to the event’s cause in Doug’s name, you can still do so! Making a contribution All proceeds will be used to create and offer collegiate financial aid scholarships to junior golfers. Junior golf and personal and professional development were two of Doug’s greatest passions, and we’re looking forward to getting this off the ground in the Fall of 2021! From last year’s memorial contributions and the Family Cup proceeds, approximately $13,500 has been raised, and it is enough to begin a few annual Doug Evans Junior Scholarships!! If you’re inclined to donate to the fund, you can do so below via check or credit card payment.
