RICHMOND, Ky. — A charity golf scramble supporting Upward Bound is officially scheduled for Saturday, June 20, bringing regional fundraising efforts to the greens at Battlefield Golf Club in Richmond. 🏌️♂️💚
The tournament features a prompt 9:00 a.m. shotgun start ⏰📣 at the county-operated facility, located at 524 General Cruft Drive 📍. Madison County civic administrators have directed anyone seeking team entries or organizational details to contact event coordinator Darnell Hill directly by phone at 859-358-5908 📞.
Municipal staff noted that Battlefield Golf Club is functioning strictly as the host venue 🏟️, meaning all specific scheduling updates, weather policies 🌦️, and tournament rules 📋 are managed directly by the independent event organizers.
🚩 Shotgun Start and Arrival Logistics
Because the event is structured as a shotgun start, players must plan to arrive well before the morning tee time. In this tournament format, every playing group begins simultaneously from a different hole on the course ⛳⛳⛳. Consequently, team check-in ✅, golf cart assignments 🛺, and travel to the furthest starting holes must all clear before the official horn sounds 📯.
Unless the tournament coordinator issues separate check-in windows, golfers should plan to arrive on-site around 8:15 a.m. 🕗 to allow sufficient time to load equipment 🎒, register 📝, and locate their starting assignments 🗺️.
🤝 Supporting Local Non-Profit Outreach
Corporate registration filings identify Upward Bound Ministries Inc. as an active, Berea-based non-profit organization 🏡, with Darnell Hill serving as the institution’s president 👤.
At the time of publication, public municipal event directories did not include specific team registration pricing scales 💵, corporate hole-sponsorship packages 🏷️, digital payment instructions 💳, or the detailed breakdown of the exact community outreach programs that will benefit from the day’s proceeds. Because these financial logistics are pending ⏳, interested golfers, business sponsors, and local benefactors should reach out directly to the coordinator via phone 📞 to confirm entry requirements before finalizing their weekend plans 🗓️.
🏌️ The Scramble Advantage and Venue Services
Charity golf scrambles serve as the standard choice for community fundraisers because they accommodate an inclusive range of athletic abilities 🙌. In a traditional scramble format, every member of a four-person team hits a drive 🏌️, after which the group selects the single best ball location ✅ for their secondary shots. This cycle repeats until the ball is holed out 🕳️. The setup maintains an efficient, brisk pace of play ⚡ across the course while allowing casual and competitive players to collaborate equally on a single scorecard 🧾.
Battlefield Golf Club offers a pristine 18-hole setting situated on the historic Civil War terrain of the Battle of Richmond 🏛️. According to the facility’s outing management desk, tournament groups renting the course have access to professional tournament coordination services 🧑💼. These internal amenities typically include custom team pairing sheets 📄, personalized golf cart signs 🪧, official scorecards 🧾, electronic leaderboard management 📊, and specialized proximity markers for “closest-to-the-pin” 🎯 or “longest-drive” 💥 side contests.
