Hitting for Hope Golf Tournament  Details & Agenda

We are so excited for tomorrow’s Hitting for Hope Golf Fundraiser and just wanted to send you a friendly reminder along with some important details to ensure you have a fantastic experience.

Event Details:

  • Date: May 11, 2024
  • Time: Registration starts at 7:00 am, with shot gun start promptly at 8:00 am.
  • Location: Ratliff Ranch Golf Links, 7500 N Grandview Ave., Odessa, TX  79765
  • Dress Code: Please remember to wear appropriate golf attire and shoes.
  • This is a 4-Man Scramble Golf Tournament.  Teams of four players work together to achieve the best possible score on each hole. After each shot, the team selects the best shot and all players hit from that spot. This format encourages collaboration, camaraderie, and a whole lot of fun! 


    Mulligans:

  • This year, we are happy to announce that we will be selling a mulligan for $20/team or $5/player (only 1 mulligan per person).  A mulligan is a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. Its best-known use is in golf, whereby it refers to a player being allowed, only informally, to replay a stroke, although that is against the formal rules of golf. 

    Buy A Birdie and/or Buy A Drive:
  • “Buy A Birdie” at one of the designed holes for $20/team.  
  • ‘Buy A Drive” at one of the designated Par 5 holes for $20/team.  If you buy a drive, then you get to move up 200 yards in the Tee box.

    Prize Packages:
  • Get ready to aim for greatness on the course and compete for the chance to win some incredible rewards. There are fantastic prize packages for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place! There will also be special prize packages for other contests, such as closest to the pin, the longest drive, the highest team score (last place) and a lot of chances to win some great prizes from local businesses.  These prizes are not just tokens of appreciation; they’re a testament to your skill, teamwork, and dedication to our cause. Whether you’re striving for victory or simply enjoying a day of golfing fun, there’s something special waiting for our top teams.
