The TJ Tomeny Legacy Classic: Golf and Good Times for a Cause
The TJ Tomeny Legacy Classic took place August 17 at Stonebridge Ranch Country Club. In its 15th year, the sold-out golf tournament saw more than 20 teams come together on a glorious morning for food, fellowship, and fun with a competitive round of golf. For some teams, fashion was the raison d’être; others came in wearing their game faces, ready to conquer the links.
Legacy partnered with Leaderboard to add some excitement to the 13th hole — one of the longest. There, golfers could purchase a shot out of an air cannon, which would catapult their ball 150 yards, much closer to the hole. One golfer even channeled Al Pacino’s famed Scarface line, “Say hello to my little friend!” as he took hold of the air cannon.
Though lightning and rain meant the tournament had to end a little early, that didn’t dampen the golfers’ experience. The three top-scoring teams were honored and individuals earned a host of other awards, such as Longest Drive and Hole in One. The coveted Best-Dressed award, once again, went to a women’s team, though the team composed of their husbands gave them a run for their money!
The tournament is named for Thomas Joseph (TJ) Tomeny, who exemplified the traits Legacy seeks to instill in its students. TJ — a gifted athlete — was known for his Christ-like character, perseverance, academic excellence, and, most of all, a great attitude. It honors his memory and his many God-given talents on the fields of competition.
All proceeds from the TJ Tomeny Legacy Classic go directly to benefit the Stronger Together Fund at LCA.
