The Fifth Annual SMGA Charity Golf Classic

The Salute Military Golf Association (SMGA) held its fifth annual SMGA Charity Golf Classic on June 13, 2011, at Manor Country Club in Rockville, MD; this is the same course SMGA co-founders Jim Estes and Jamie Winslow learned to play the game of golf. For the fifth consecutive year, the tournament was a sell out and raised tens of thousands of dollars to support combat-wounded American veterans injured in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. A full house of players, veterans, and guests heard U.S. Army Vice Chief of Staff Peter Chiarelli deliver the evening's keynote address. The highlight of this year's tournament was the two hole-in-one's made on the Par 3 17th by WJFK radio personality Chris Johnson and SMGA supporter Ray Salzberg; each received a vehicle courtesy of Coleman Cadillac. The SMGA board thanks all the participants, sponsors, and volunteers for making this year's event so successful. All net proceeds from the event have either gone or will go to the purchase of equipment, lessons, and golf course access for combat wounded veterans.
