Divots & Drivers First Annual Golf Tournament
This is where businesses and individuals can directly help be part of downtown’s positive trajectory while having fun along the way. The golf tournament is our first fundraising event specifically to work on these planters, and we want you involved.
The Downtown Cheyenne Development Authority, in conjunction with the Downtown Development Foundation, is pleased to host our first annual DDA Golf Tournament. Divots & Drivers, our 2020 tournament, will be on Saturday, October 3rd at the Cheyenne Country Club. This golf tournament will be raising money for new planters downtown.
Our current planters are old, cracked, and generally in poor condition. Some of them have even been hit by cars. These planters don’t include irrigation sleeves, so they need to be watered daily to keep the plants alive. New planters would allow us to better conserve water and time efficiency by incorporating self watering sleeves, keeping downtown’s plants healthier in our Wyoming dry air and sun.
In addition, new planters will update the curb appeal of our downtown spaces. The plantings the DDA put in this year have been very successful, combining western appropriate perennials with colorful annuals, with the goal of color and interest through the fall and hopefully into the winter. We also carefully chose plants that would be bee friendly, keeping in mind the importance of pollinators and feeding our bees downtown.
These planters are a highly visible part of our downtown landscape and updating them will enhance our community.
With the DDA’s budget cuts, funding a project as big as planters requires creativity and the community’s support. That creativity led to the idea of a golf tournament, with the proceeds going to fund the planters and a direct investment into our downtown.
This is where businesses and individuals can directly help be part of downtown’s positive trajectory while having fun along the way. The golf tournament is our first fundraising event specifically to work on these planters, and we want you involved.
We are actively seeking teams to play in the tournament. Teams of four players are $500, and this will include a light breakfast, 18 holes of golf at Cheyenne Country Club, one golf cart for every two players, prizes, the opportunity to engage in networking with businesses from across Cheyenne, and more.
We’re also still looking for Hole Sponsors. This costs $250 and comes with a sign at one of the holes on the green, sharing that you’re supporting the DDA’s efforts to improve downtown.
We’re looking forward to improving Cheyenne with you, and we thank you in advance for your participation in our first annual golf tournament. To register, please contact Holly Scheer at holly@downtowncheyenne.com or 307-433-9730. We’ll see you on the green!
