Swing into Action: The Vince Rossetti Charity Golf Classic Aims to Bring Golfers of All Ages and Skill Levels Together to Support a Great Cause

Scheduled for Monday, September 23, 2024, the Vince Rossetti Charity Golf Classic, fondly known as “The Vince,” will take place on the beautiful grounds of the Flat Creek Country Club in Peachtree City, Georgia. This annual golf tournament was created in memory of Vince Rossetti, a long-time Fayette County resident who was the founder of Ravin Homes and a founding member of the Peachtree City Optimist Club. The tournament aims to foster relationships within the golfing community while supporting local charitable initiatives. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Southern Conservation Trust (SCT), which works to elevate nature through exceptional stewardship including managing and operating 5 public nature areas in Fayette County and providing environmental education through their Fayette Environmental Education Center.

Participants can look forward to a thoughtfully organized event that strikes the perfect balance between competition and fun. With a tournament format designed to accommodate players of all ages and skill levels, everyone is guaranteed a memorable and enjoyable day on the course. Reflecting strong community support, local businesses and sponsors have generously contributed additional activities designed to enhance the overall experience and provide even more chances to win prizes.

The tournament is a four-player scramble with a shotgun start. Golfers can register as individuals or as teams, promoting a spirit of teamwork and collaboration, welcoming both seasoned players and beginners, and creating an inclusive environment where everyone can learn and grow their skills. This format encourages participants to share tips and strategies, enhancing the overall experience for all involved. Participants will also enjoy a complimentary breakfast, lunch, and post-event hors d’oeuvre banquet providing a perfect opportunity to network with other golfers and share experiences. 

"We are excited to bring together our community, partners, and supporters for this annual event. The funds raised will directly benefit our ongoing conservation and environmental education initiatives, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the natural beauty of Georgia," said Chris Doane, President & CEO of the Southern Conservation Trust.

The charity tournament not only celebrates golf as a recreational activity but also underscores the power of sports in fostering community support. By participating, golfers contribute to a meaningful cause that extends far beyond the game, helping to significantly impact the Southeastern United States by protecting greenspaces, conserving natural resources, and providing environmental education and access to nature for all.

As the date approaches, organizers are preparing for a memorable event that promises to leave a lasting impact. Golfers of all skill levels are encouraged to participate and enjoy a day of friendly competition, community engagement, and charitable contributions. The tournament represents a unique opportunity to enjoy the sport while making a positive difference.
