Knowing that we have many parishioners who play golf at our beautiful golf courses and at other venues, I want to ask all golfers to consider participating in one or more benefit golf tournaments that will be coming up in August and September.  The first two, on Saturday, August 25, and Sunday August 26, will benefit our county Catholic Schools, St. John's in Hot Springs and Our Lady of Fatima in Benton, respectively.  There should be more details about these tournaments in our bulletins in the coming weeks.  In addition, the annual Bishop McDonald Catholic Charities tournament will take place on Monday, September 17, at Maumelle Country Club.  We would consider our parish splitting the greens fee for this tournament, with up to eight parishioners who want to play.  All these tournaments promise a good time and a good feeling about your contribution to these worthwhile institutions and charities.  I might even be available (if you dare ask me) to be on your team.  It would be wonderful to see our parish well-represented at all these tournaments.
