MIDDLETON, MA – September 10, 2010 – In its fourth year, the Ferncroft Junior Golf Classic raised a record amount of money for disadvantaged youth. Held yesterday at Ferncroft County Club, 100% of net proceeds from the Classic were donated to the Ferncroft CC Junior Scholarship Program, which seeks to nurture disadvantaged young people ages 8-16 by providing access, instruction, and equipment to introduce them to golf.

Boston Bruins past and present played in the tournament to show their support for the Program, which included Ray Bourque, Adam Courchaine, Tyler Seguin, Adam McQuade, Daniel Paille and Shawn Thorton.

Baseball Hall-of-Famer Jim Rice won the Celebrity Long Drive with a prize of an Annual Membership at Ferncroft CC.

Junior Scholars Dylan Perkins, Matthew Hartigan, Sammy and Jorge Garcia, Jesse Cunningham, and Matthew David Stewart were honored at the dinner following golf.

The Ferncroft CC Junior Golf Scholarship Program seeks to nurture disadvantaged young people ages 8-16 with an interest in golf by providing access, instruction, and equipment to introduce them to golf and develop their games. Ferncroft CC works with area non-profits and social workers to identify candidates who complete an application and essay. The Program guides scholarship recipients into the game of golf by teaching them on the Ferncroft CC par 3 course, practice range, and short game area.

Known for its Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed championship golf course that hosted the LPGA Boston Five Classic from 1980-90, Ferncroft Country Club is a full-service club with outstanding food, many social and children’s activities, tennis courts, swimming pool, and fitness center. Set on an idyllic 287 acres, Ferncroft CC's lush greens are in an incredibly convenient location, just nineteen minutes north of downtown Boston where Route 1 meets I-95 on the North Shore.
