The 8th Annual Mayors Tournament Recap

Wow! What a spectacular event this year!!

I want to thank you all for being part of the largest Mayor’s  Tournament ever. Not only did we set a player record with forty-eight but we also raised the most funds for charity ever with a whopping $1,100 to benefit The Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

The weather was a little hot, but nothing some cold beer and bad putting couldn’t cool down. The 9:30 start time, rather than our standard mid-day start, didn’t hurt those averse to a high heat index either. The day was great with only one hitch, outside of the hacker swings I saw out there, and that was our scheduled lunch. Unfortunately it wasn’t served at the turn but left for the end of the day instead. Don’t worry, next year we’ll get it right.

Congratulations to our winning team of David Cutter, Ryan Kerr, Tony Fordham and Anthony Armstrong who held the lead from the first hole to the last. Click here if you want to see the scorecards and how close your team came to winning this coveted title. Congrats guys and don’t be surprised if you invitations are a little late next year.

The biggest loser of the event was Joe Massaro who lost $5,000. In related news he was the winner of the raffle to take a can’t miss $5,000 putt that was raffled off at the end of the tournament. Wide right and short. Some things don’t change. But alas, every dark cloud has a silver lining and this was no different. The raffle garnered us an additional $425 for charity. Thanks to all for parting with the dead presidents burning a hole in their pockets!!

Next year we are looking for a $10K hole in one opportunity. Early indications are that every hacker will be eligible. Also, I’m working on scheduling a Callaway Demo Day for the tournament. This might be especially pleasing to those of you who are actually still using actual woods from the Ben Hogan days.

Of course this great day wouldn’t be possible without the support of our local businesses. I want to take this time to thank our new sponsors who helped us out this year. The Shaving Gallery, ALG Worldwide, AT&T Mobility, SBA Global Logistics, DiGusto’s, Culinary Outfitters. United Marketing Associates and US Airways. Thank you for helping us help the kids.

I also would like to thank some new personal sponsors who either donated gifts or money to our organization. They are Don White, Joe Pergolia, and Scott Harper. These folks along with each player participating this year I give my heartfelt gratitude. Without you guys there wouldn’t be a Mayors Tournament.

My personal appreciation and thanks go out to Julie Doering who designed the invitations, even though she was on the IR, Pam Tramonte who printed out the invitations, Phil Mitchell who was part Ed McMahon part Annie Liebowitz as he drove around with me taking lots of pictures, and my good buddy Horst Hoefinger who keeps me straight with the website he has put together for me. and I couldn’t do without each year.

If you check the top of the web site we are already counting down the time of the Ninth Annual Mayor’s Tournament. Since we are always looking to improve on a great event, please forward any ideas and suggestions you may have.

Once again…many thanks to all!!

Only Two Weeks – Important Information

As you all know, The Mayor’s Tournament is just a few weeks away.

The sign-ups have been brisk over the past week and we are well on the way to the largest tournament ever!!  The prizes being given out this year are better than ever. In fact, there will be a hole in one prize that is worthy of being a PGA Hole-in-One prize. Not quite an Escalade, but just as prestigious. Our representatives are currently in discussion with the Glancy Agency for Hole in One insurance.

But remember it’s not about you. It’s about the kids.

To reserve your slot, and chance to win many valuable prizes, get your money in now. You can use the Paypal option on this website or you can get the cash to the Mayor, Joe Mantineo in person.

The deadline for payment is this week June 5th.

Keep in mind the Mayor has laid out all the cash up front so if you don’t want to see his wife, son and poor skinny Dino begging for food in the streets, get the money to him sooner than later.

The Mayor’s Tournament Committee can’t wait to see you on the course.

I’ll leave you with some photos of the Mayor on his 50th birthday.

Invitations Are Ready

The Mayor’s Tournament selection committee is proud to announce that we have secured, yet again, the services of Cobblestone Golf Course for this year’s tournament.

The tournament will commence on June 20th at 9:30 am. You read that correctly. Nine thirty ayyy emm.

RSVP required by Friday, June 5th.

Payments are already starting to trickle in via Paypal. If you’re financially strapped, there’s no better way to pay than via a credit card. Why pay now for something you can deduct in bankruptcy later?

Don’t forget, if you’d like to sponsor a hole it is only an additional $100. We’re not telling what you’ll get just yet, rest assured you will be very pleased.

If you’d like to donate cash, gifts or prizes please contact Mayor Joe. Remember, all proceeds go to charity.

Look for the hardcopy invite to arrive in your mailbox shortly.

From all of us at TMT HQ, we’re looking forward to seeing you out there.

About the Tournament

Since you’ve found your way here, you now realize The Mayor’s Tournament is on the internets. Heck, you may even be able to find it if you use The Google.

We hope you enjoy the central repository of all things Mayoral in local golf tournaments.

We will continue to update the website with new features, Ask Tony answers and restaurant reviews. Also we’ll be adding golf videos and tips for those of you striving to win the first prize trophy this year.

Keep coming back, and don’t be shy about paying for the 2009 Mayor’s Tournament online…or even think about sponsoring a hole for a measly $100.

Thank you for your participation and we look forward to hearing from you.

Letter From the Mayor

As we say so long to 2008 and hello to 2009, we look forward to another successful year at The Mayor’s Tournament.

With a bad economy and a new president, we all should look to what we can do for our fellow man.

We at The Mayor’s Tournament feel privileged to have our corporate sponsors and personal sponsors being able to donate money each year to another children’s organization.

2008 saw the Empty Stocking Fund receiving the full $500 that we were able to give through the kindness and thoughtfulenss of each player.

Though we had less players thn in past years, I feel very positive that we will be able to break our record of $750 this year.

Our tournament will be held on June 20th. The cost will remain a cheap $75 per man.

As you know, any extra donations are appreceiated and will be accepted.  Rememer what we do is for the children in our communities, the kids who need a helpful hand.

This is what keeps me going each year.

I also want to give kudos to Julie Doerring. Her help has made my transition a lot easier.

Again, this is a challenge, but the ide of being able to help my fellow man keeps me going.

Thanks to all sponsors and participants. Without you, this wouldn’t be possible.

See you soon!

Joe
