Civic Club’s first annual golf tournament successfully tees off

It was an audacious gamble to launch a brand-new golf tournament in 2021 but the Wimberley Community Civic Club took up the challenge and inaugurated the First Annual Civic Club Golf Tournament at the Woodcreek Golf Course on May 17. Led by Club organizer Robin Lowe and managed by a small army of volunteers, the event attracted 17 foursomes to the Quicksand course. Sponsors came forward to support the tourna ment in multiple categories including the sponsorship of four foursomes of first responders from the Wimberley area. The tournament raised $14,500, which added to the $32,000 the Civic Club donated to local nonprofits and scholarships in June. Scrambles, prizes, gift bags, breakfast tacos, lunch, and a wine and spirit pull were all part of the fun.

“I want to thank the community for their support of our efforts and to let people know that our dedicated first responders were able to attend the tournament thanks to generous corporate and private sponsors,” said Lowe. “We extend our sincere gratitude to all of our sponsors and volunteers. Look for us next year, we’ll be back in 2022!”

The Wimberley Community Civic Club was organized in 1979 to connect with newcomers for the purpose of building a strong, caring, culturally rich, and resilient community. Through service and financial support, the group bolsters area nonprofits and awards scholarships to deserving students. It also creates many opportunities for the development of long-lasting friendships. The First Annual Golf Tournament joins the Hill Country Home Tour, Style Show, and Spring Events roster of Civic Club events. Information about joining is available at wimberleyccc.org.
