Goodwill Gulf Coast held 36th annual Greer’s/Goodwill Gulf Coast Golf Tournament, on May 15, 2025 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Magnolia Grove. This highly anticipated event, sponsored by Greer’s, brought together local businesses, community leaders, and golf enthusiasts to enjoy a day on the golf course while supporting Goodwill’s mission of empowering individuals through job training and employment services. Participants enjoyed a challenging and fun round of golf, exciting raffle prizes, and a fantastic breakfast and lunch —all while making a direct impact on individuals and families in our community. Proceeds from the tournament will help fund Goodwill Gulf Coast’s programs, which provide education, skills training, and employment opportunities for individuals in need.
The Crossings Course winning team was Wesley Brittain, Hunter Brittain, Tate Brand, and Garrett Brand. The Falls Course winning team was Keith Palmer, Burns McNeill, Blair Varnes, and Tim Lee.
