East Coast Golf Management courses donate golf clubs, balls to Army troops
Golf equipment collected from a handful of courses on the north end of the Grand Strand is on its way to U.S. Army forces thanks to an initiative spearheaded by Meadowlands Golf Club pro shop manager Shawn Denney.
At the request of a serviceman affiliated with Farmstead Golf Links, dozens of clubs and hundreds of golf balls were collected from Brick Landing Plantation, Rivers Edge Golf Club, Eagle Nest Golf Club, The Pearl Golf Links, Crow Creek Golf Club, Meadowlands and Farmstead.
The clubs have been left behind by visiting golfers and have remained unclaimed for a few months. The lost clubs are often donated to organizations such as The First Tee. “When we got this request, we contacted the other courses in the East Coast Golf Management family, and their response was overwhelmingly generous,” said Farmstead and Meadowlands general manager Jason Monahan. “They all felt this is a very worthy effort. Our servicemen and women deserve our support and thanks.”
Meadowlands co-owner Teresa McLamb delivered the equipment to Fort Bragg (N.C.) this past week.
