Section Foundation Hosts 2025 Foundation Classic
The Alabama – NW Florida Golf Foundation hosted its Foundation Classic Pro-Am at Wicker Point Golf Club in Alexander City, Alabama. The Foundation Classic is the marquee fundraising event for the 501(c)(3) of the Alabama – NW Florida PGA Section to benefit the programming and outreach the Foundation provides for communities across the region.
The event featured 16 teams of one Alabama – NW Florida PGA Professional and four Amateurs from across the Section. The winning team of Patrick Richardson, Nick Robillard, Keith Woods, Steve Hudson, and Patrick Drummond won with a score of 21-under par in the two Net Best-Ball Format.
The presenting sponsor, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, set up a bloody mary bar for the participants to enjoy before play and a transfusions bar on the back nine during play.
Amateur participants received Alabama – NW Florida Golf Foundation branded golf balls and Alabama – NW Florida Golf Foundation hats.
In addition to the wonderful round of golf by Lake Martin, there was a silent auction where prizes were awarded that afternoon. In true college rivalry fashion, an Auburn Golf package, including a Men’s Golf NCAA National Championship hat and Auburn Golf shirt, as well as an Alabama Golf package, including a U.S. Amateur flag signed by Nick Dunlap and an Alabama Golf swinging elephant hat, were featured in the silent auction. Other prizes included a Scotty Cameron Fastback Putter, a Callaway Elyte Driver and a dozen Chrome Tour Golf Balls, a Tito’s X YETI Backpack Cooler, Billy Joel concert tickets, a round of golf at various Alabama – NW Florida courses, and more.
Following the conclusion of the silent auction, there was a live auction that featured an E-Z-GO 4-seat golf cart.
We are so grateful to our sponsors, PGA Professionals, and friends of the game who donated countless products and keepsakes to help support the ongoing mission of our Foundation.
The Section would also like to extend its gratitude to Matt Sheppard and the team at Wicker Point Golf Club for hosting this wonderful event!
