2009 Youth Golf Scramble Results and Photos
Family Counseling Center, Inc. hosted its first Youth Programs Golf Scramble on May 1 at the Gambit Golf Course in Vienna, Illinois. Seventeen 4-person teams participated in the event. The winning all men’s team was Egyptian Health Department with a score of 60, and the winning mixed team was Union County Abstract with a score of 58. Closest to the pin winners were Jim Hadley, Bimp Sampson, Jason Short, and Adam Tyler.
The goal of this scramble was to raise money in order that some age appropriate recreational activities can be offered to the youth served by Family Counseling Center in the southern seven counties of Illinois (Alexander, Hardin, Johnson, Massac, Pope, Pulaski and Union). With changes in regulations and increased state funding cuts, recreational summer activities that were once offered are no longer an option. These activities are extremely important to the youth with whom the counselors work. It allows them to connect with the child outside of an office setting, see the child interact in public and observe his/her interaction with peers. A great deal of information about the youth and their habits or patterns is gained from these types of interactions. Family Counseling Center Director Larry W. Mizell hopes that the funds raised from this event will allow the agency to continue offering some of these types of activities.
