"The golf outing is a great way for people to support OE's mission while having a fun day out of the office,” said Chris Runnion, who served on OE’s Board of Directors for nine years and chairs the Golf Committee. “There's good food, and even if you don't play well, it's good to know you're doing something to help a lot of people.”
The outing is a scramble golf format. All golfers will enjoy one round of golf, a grab-and-play lunch, beverages during golf, and photo keepsake. For the third year, OE’s One Amazing Golf Outing will offer morning and afternoon flights. The morning flight begins with registration at 6 a.m. with a 7 a.m. shotgun start. Morning golfers will enjoy a continental breakfast. The afternoon flight begins with registration at 11:30 a.m. and a 1 p.m. shotgun start and includes dinner.
