The beaches and golf links in Negril, Jamaica will never be the same, following the outing that attracted an abundance of excited players to the sun-swept island.
“Thank you for attending the Negril Golf Outing on December 11-15, 2019,” says organizer Jessie Brooks who founded the tournament four years ago. “We really enjoyed hosting everyone, much fun was had by all. We had eleven ladies and nine men playing in the golf outing.”
Non-golfers, spouses, and friends also came to Negril Treehouse, a beautiful quaint beach resort, which contributed to an enjoyable weekend. Golfers to the outing arrived from destinations far-and-wide, including from London England, Nova Scotia Canada, Minneapolis area, Chicago area, Detroit area, Tampa area, St. Louis and Columbia, MO and a supporting cast from TX, FL and NY.
Winners Randi Breault and Roscoe Brown are undefeated in the two-person scramble for the past four years. They shot a score of 76, Raymond Jackson and Shawn May shot 77 and Vicki Burns and Fayneese Miller shot 78.
“Thanks to Edward Thompson for creating the E.T. Cave Valley School Fund,” says Brooks. “Eddie announced he wanted to start a fund and made a big donation to the fund. Jimmie Settles did not play golf and contributed his golf fees to the fund. Vicki Burns and Lisa Delgado also made a generous contribution. Thanks to all that donated.”
Cave Valley All Age School is located in Jamaica. Randi wanted to start a golf tournament as a fundraiser to support the Negril community. He and I have supplied the school with electronic tablets, laptops, printers along with various school supplies, books, hand soap, tissue, and other items. With the E.T. Fund we can do more.”
We plan to schedule the next outing for November 4-8, 2020 at Tryall Golf Club and details will follow soon. In the meantime, should you wish to donate or contribute to any of these efforts, please contact Jessie Brooks, Jr. at 630-452-8807 or email him at jesbr3@aol.com
