Gary Collins hits 145 Holes!

We are excited to say that Gary Collins beat his record and hit a grand total of 145 holes yesterday at Frenchman's Reserve Country Club. Unfortunately, lightning strikes caused a delay during the day. Imagine what he could’ve accomplished with clear skies!

His determination and hard work helped us raise funds for the interactive whiteboards that interface with the specialized computers that this event helped fund last year. Combining the simplicity of a whiteboard with the power of a computer, the SMART board allows the teacher to deliver dynamic lessons with the simple touch of a finger.
