Birdies and Backhands 2019

It’s that time of year again!

By Robyn Marlow

This Thursday, May 30, is Birdies and Backhands 2019.

We never expected Birdies and Backhands to be some kind of tune-up event for Wimbledon in June or the U.S. Open. That’s good because it hasn’t…yet.

We wanted to create an event that got people in the community out and active while trying to raise a little money for the North Sunflower Foundation.  And on that score, it has been a smashing success.

The mission of the North Sunflower Medical Foundation is to promote health and wellness for the residents of Sunflower County and surrounding areas by assisting with the enhancement of quality healthcare, to provide grants for educational purposes to ensure the availability of healthcare professionals, and to partner with local governmental agencies in matters related to healthcare.”

The Foundation provides funding for equipment, educational grants, programs and services that otherwise would not be possible.
