Jeff Hadley Day

Jeff Hadley Day
Green Mountain National Golf Course
May 31, 2005

As most of you know by now, Vermont PGA Member and Green Mountain National Golf Course Head Professional Jeff Hadley has been diagnosed with ALS. Jeff is doing well and is back in Vermont for the summer. Jeff spent much of the winter in Florida. He played quite a bit of golf and enjoyed the warm weather.

Most of Jeff’s symptoms at the present are concentrated in his right leg and he has been fitted with a brace, which will help take the strain off of that leg. Jeff is also undergoing some experimental treatments and participating in some research, which hopefully, will help in the efforts to understand and find a cure for this terrible disease. Jeff will continue as the Head Golf Professional at Green Mountain National Golf Course and be an active VPGA member. Jeff and his wife Alice are incurring a great deal of medical and prescription expenses. The Jeff Hadley Day detailed below will help them offset some of these expenses, educate all of us about ALS and raise some money to help the research efforts of those working to find a cure for this disease.

We are organizing a fun day of golf, prizes, food and maybe a couple of beers (all of these rank highly on Jeff’s “to do” list) to honor, toast and roast our buddy. The event will be held on Tuesday May 31, 2005. That is the day after Memorial Day and will take the place of a regular VPGA pro-am; however, this will not be an official VPGA event. Depending on the number of amateurs that sign up, we will have a double shotgun. The format will be a 5-person scramble with 1 professional on each team. We will use a modified version of the Buick Scramble formula to handicap the teams. We know of many amateurs from the Killington and Stowe areas that want to participate. We will make up the teams honoring as many requests as possible. The committee will assign professionals to the teams with some of the pros playing in both shotguns. Awards will be given out following each shotgun with a dinner and events being held after the PM shotgun at the Summit Lodge.

We will have at least 40 rounds of golf for foursomes including cart. We will sell as many raffle tickets at $150 as we have rounds. Everyone who buys a ticket will win a foursome at a course determined by a drawing. Many times 4 players get together and buy a ticket, the luck of the draw will determine which course they get to play.

Amateurs - The entry fee will be $100. We will also have several raffles and silent auction items to bid on.

The Committee - The Committee will recruit the players, secure prizes and raffle prizes from golf manufacturers, obtain silent auction items, and recruit hole sponsorships from individuals, groups and businesses.
