Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open Week has Begun!
MONT BELVIEU, TX (October 17, 2023) – The Southern Texas PGA is excited to start off the week by announcing the winners of the 2023 Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open Pro-Am! Out of the 22 Pro-Am Teams competing, the team coming out on top is from Vortech Contracting with Toby Tyner, Tyler McDonald, Eric Love, David Fruge, with Professional Mike Standly from League City.
"Hosting this event is such an exciting opportunity for my team and the facility," said Scott Olsen, PGA Head Professional at Eagle Pointe. "Today's event raises money for such a good cause and the turnout was awesome!"
This year marks the 10th year that Eagle Pointe Golf Club and the City of Mont Belvieu have been the host and we cannot thank them enough for their commitment! Allowing us to run this event here over the course of a decade truly puts their passion and love for golf on display.
Yesterday the City of Mont Belvieu celebrated Phase 1A of the update to the golf course which was opening a new practice putting green and updates to Hole #16. The City continues to put money into the golf course to elevate the facility for the community as well as this major Senior Open!
The Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open Pro-Am is a great event to help raise money through our gracious partners for PGA REACH Southern Texas and our Scholarship Program and we are happy to announce that $30,000 will be donated to PGA REACH Southern Texas and the Energy Transfer Scholarship Fund!
We want to thank our partners for this amazing donation towards growing the game of golf in Southern Texas. Another aspect showing how important this Pro-Am and our amazing partners are is that we are able to boast a record-breaking $100,000 purse for the Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open!
"Today was one of the most fun days for the Southern Texas PGA," said Thomas Hutton, Executive Director. "Energy Transfer and all of our partners came out to celebrate golf, raise money for college scholarships, and kick off the week for the 27th Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open presented by S&B, Vortech Contracting, Riceland, and the City of Mont Belvieu."
The money raised from the Energy Transfer TSO Pro-Am has helped 24 young adults obtain college education since its inception. In addition, this money has helped fund the Dick Harmon Participation Grant where families that cannot afford junior golf are provided funds to participate in the STPGA Junior Golf program. PGA REACH Southern Texas is focused on impacting lives through golf and we believe that helping people with college education and playing golf are truly worthy causes and we appreciate all of the local support from today's event!
