For Patriot Golf Day 2011, Old Greenwood and the Golf Club at Gray’s Crossing have planned a Labor Day weekend of events to raise money in support of families of military persons who were killed or disabled while in service. A portion of all proceeds will go to The Folds of Honor Foundation.

Patriot Golf Day is the flagship fundraiser for the Folds of Honor Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides post secondary educational scholarships for the children and spouses of military men and women disabled or killed while serving. The Patriot Golf Day campaign is jointly supported by the PGA of America and the United States Golf Association.

In honor of Patriot Day Sept. 1-5 green fees are $100 at both courses; twilight rate is $75. For a tee time, general information and a complete listing of 2011 season rates, go online. Golf reservations may be made up to 30 days in advance. Special NCGA rates are available. Or call (530) 550.5800 for Gray’s Crossing and (530) 550.7010 for Old Greenwood.

Patriot Golf Day has raised more than $8 million in the past four years, and the Folds of Honor Foundation has awarded more than 2,100 scholarships.
