If you’ve ever golfed at a public course, you know it can be hit or miss. Sometimes it’s like playing at a no-jeans-allowed country club. Other times it’s like witnessing a scene straight out of Caddyshack (gambling is illegal at Bushwood, sir. And I never slice.)
There is something to be said about people that come back to visit their roots and donate to the cause. Take those same alumni and mix in a golf tournament that benefits the local community and you’ve got the Red and Gold Scramble.
