District 7770's 4th Annual Rotary National Golf Invitational (RGNI) on Thursday, June 20, in Charleston, SC. Yes, this is our 4th year!
Charleston National Golf Club is a uniquely beautiful Rees Jones design just north of the city of Charleston in suburban Mt. Pleasant. The course is carved along the intracoastal waterway, through natural wetlands and lagoons and through a pine and oak tree forest. The result is a championship caliber golf course with some of the best views on the southeastern coast.
Charleston National has been rated the #1 non-resort golf course in the Charleston area by Golf Magazine. Unabashedly beautiful, Charleston National is a golf facility of high standards and impeccable taste. This 18-hole championship golf course is the only Rees Jones design in the Charleston area open to the public. Complement the course with a friendly and knowledgeable staff, superb playing conditions year-round, and it is not surprising that Rees Jones calls Charleston National "one of the elite venues in golf."
Charleston National, par 72, stretches just over 7,100 yards from the tips. There are five sets of tee markers to accommodate all playing levels and the true rolling greens will give all golfers a fun challenge. Wooden bridges are strategically placed to carry golfers over the natural areas from tee box to green. The finishing holes, set along untold acres of golden marshland, are among the most distinctive in the region.
To make your visit with us special, we set the course up daily. You will also enjoy our all grass practice facility, its putting green and short range area, all available within a short distance of the first tee.
We hope you will be able to join us at Charleston National!
Our Goal
Last year we raised over $30,000 for two very important charities – End Polio Now and The CART Fund
In 1988 Rotary International made a promise to the children of the world to eradicate polio. Polio has been eradicated in all but two countries – Afghanistan and Pakistan. Rotarians have given over $2.1 billion. And as of today, there aren't any Wild Polio Cases or any Vaccine Derived Polio Cases reported. We can do this! www.endpolio.org
The CART (Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) program was started in 1996 when Rotarians began emptying their pocket of change at weekly meetings. 100% of all donated funds go to Alzheimer’s research. CART has awarded over $9.2 million for grants to recognized US research institutions. www.cartfund.org/cart/
The Invitational isn't just for Rotarians. Invite your family, friends and business partners to join you for a day of good golf and great fun. This year we hope to have more teams - at least 30 teams or 120 players... that would be awesome! If you aren't a golfer, perhaps you can support RNGI by becoming a sponsor. There are a lot of ways to do that. Your support will not only reach Rotarians in our District but will also allow you to market to individuals and business owners outside of our District. Rotarians will promote the tournament and will enthusiastically promote the sponsors that make it happen. That is 3,500 Rotarians spreading the word to support your business.
