THIS YEAR’S FOCUS: Breaking the Stigma
Too many men struggle silently.
Too many men struggle silently.
Stigma, pressure, and cultural expectations often prevent men from speaking up or seeking help.
This event is more than just a golf tournament — it's a movement to bring awareness, start conversations, and create space for healing.
We’re dedicating this year’s tournament to shining a light on men’s mental health challenges — including anxiety, depression, and PTSD — while building community and connection through sport.
WHAT TO EXPECT
WHAT TO EXPECT
MORE THAN A TOURNAMENT — IT’S A MOVEMENT
Enjoy 18 holes of golf on a premier championship course, surrounded by a vibrant and supportive community. During the 19th Hole luncheon, you’ll hear from inspiring guest speakers sharing powerful personal stories and lived experiences related to men’s mental health. We will also provide educational guidance and resources from licensed mental health experts to help break the stigma and encourage open dialogue.
The event will feature friendly competitions, raffle prizes, giveaways, and wellness-themed activities. It’s a day of purpose, healing, and connection designed to foster awareness and community support.
MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH LOUNGE
A safe, welcoming space offering:
📘 Literature on depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more
📱 QR codes linking to therapy and mental health resources
🤝 Live conversations with male therapists, advocates, and coaches

We’re honored to have Gary Amirbekyan, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and co-founder of Couch Conversations, joining us to host the lounge this year.
