On September 22, golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and friends of Ketcha Outdoors came together for our Annual Golf Tournament — a day filled with great golf, plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and an amazing show of support for Ketcha.
From the first tee to the final putt, the course was buzzing. Golfers competed for tournament prizes, watched a world-class long-distance champion sail the ball 500 yards! And battled it out in the Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, and Putting Contests.
But the fun didn’t end on the 18th green!
After golf, everyone headed back to Ketcha for the 19th Hole, where we wrapped up the day with a Texas Roadhouse dinner, Shipyard beer, raffles, tournament prizes, contest winners, and a chance to relax and celebrate together.
More importantly, the tournament brought together people who believe in what Ketcha Outdoors does every day: creating opportunities for children, families, and community members to learn, grow, play, and connect outdoors.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
This event simply wouldn’t happen without the businesses and organizations that step up to support Ketcha. We are incredibly grateful to our tournament sponsors, hole sponsors, raffle donors, and in-kind partners for helping make the day possible.

More Than a Day of Golf
The Golf Tournament is one of our favorite days of the year because it brings so many parts of the Ketcha community together. Every sponsorship, foursome, raffle ticket, donated prize, and volunteer hour contributes to our work and helps us continue making outdoor experiences more accessible to our community.
To our golfers, sponsors, donors, volunteers, Board members, Prouts Neck Country Club, and everyone who helped make the day happen: thank you.
You made this day possible — and you made it a whole lot of fun.
We’ll see you on the course next year!
