The First Annual Fusion Frenzy Golf Tournament is a Success!

Avid golfers, and those who love a good time, take note!  There is a new "can't miss" event on the scene in Livermore that you will want to add to your calendar.  On Friday, August 17th, Livermore Fusion Soccer Club held their first annual Fusion Frenzy Golf Tournament.  What started as an idea for a fundraiser turned into such a successful and enjoyable event, it is sure to become an annual favorite for years to come.  The tournament welcomed 84 golfers on what turned out to be a beautiful day for golf. 

The golfers were greeted in the morning with a sangria provided by Housleys Century Oak Winery and a goody bag filled with items from the many sponsors:  Jamba Juice, Fremont Bank, Sports Clips, Safeway, and Guide Point Systems, just to name a few. Then with a shotgun start, the 21 foursomes began their scramble, and their quest to win the big prizes along the way.  While  there was not a hole-in-one winner of the Chevy Camaro, there were many winners.  Michael Demaree won a putter for closest to the pin and Tim Baxter won a new driver for longest drive. The two winning groups for Net and Gross scores each won $100 in cash per player and some great bottles of wine.  And, even if you weren't a big prize winner, there was still fun to be had around every twist of the course, from watering holes supplied with Longboard Lager to 50/50 card games to test your luck.  The day was capped off with a catered dinner, complete with a raffle, live auction, and silent auction. 

Even non-golfers enjoyed the evening, as many chose to purchase dinner-only tickets for the event.  The prizes were abundant and ranged from pizza and wine to golf clubs, sports event tickets, and signed jerseys to cabin getaways and relaxation packages. The silent auction baskets, all provided by the club's premier teams, wowed the crowd and created quite a fervor before the final sheets were pulled.   All in all, the first annual Fusion Frenzy Golf tournament was a huge success.  The event brought in just under $10,000 for the club and brought together an awesome group of volunteers and attendees who are sure to make this an annual event the community will look forward to for years to come.

The event was put on by the Livermore Fusion Golf Committee which consists of Ben Graham, Manny Moncada, Lora Silva, Julie Krakoski, Kimberly and John O’Conner
