AGH FOUNDATION TO HOST 27th ANNUAL FALL GOLF CLASSIC

Berlin, Md. – The Atlantic General Hospital Foundation is pleased to announce the 2020 Robert E. Warfield Memorial Tournament to benefit Atlantic General Hospital will be held on Thursday, September 24, 2020, rain or shine, at Ocean City Golf Club.

Event coordinators anticipate holding a fantastic event albeit with a few modifications this year due to the current global pandemic. The health and safety of participants and staff are at the forefront of logistics planning. Player check-in, giveaways distribution, and dining will be adjusted to reduce touchpoints and accommodate social distancing guidelines.

For local golfers this tournament has become an annual tradition, with last year’s event raising $90,000 to expand health care services and programs for our community through our local hospital. This year’s format will be scramble with all golfers playing nine holes on each course, Newport Bay and Seaside. Check-in begins at 10:00am with a 12:00pm shotgun start. Player entry fee includes cart and greens fees, lunch provided by Taste Events and dinner provided by Boxcar40, as well as snacks and beverages/cocktails on the course. Deluxe giveaways, tournament awards, and team photograph are also included. Additional excitement includes a variety of on-the-course challenges with fabulous prizes and Harborside’s famous orange crush bar.

Non-golfers can join in the fun by purchasing raffle tickets for the “Big Bucks” cash raffle or reserving golf balls for the new “Drop Zone” helicopter golf ball drop that will take place at the conclusion of the tournament. Numbered golf balls will be dropped from a helicopter over the driving range with the ball closest to the target winning a cash prize. The raffle ticket and ball drop sales are open to the public and winners need not be present.
