The 97.5 The Fanatic Charity Golf Classic 2023 took place at Turtle Creek Golf Course in Limerick, PA on Monday, July 31.
The John Kincade Show and The Anthony Gargano Show broadcasted live from the course.
The morning started off with Citadel Credit Union donating $5,000 to benefit the newly-created John Kincade Scholarship Fund.
The morning and midday broadcasts got some reinforcements as the day went along. The Fanatic staff showed up in full force.
Devon Givens fought through a recent injury to come hang out in the station’s tent area. Bob Cooney even showed up for 18 holes during a week’s vacation from work. Tyrone Johnson and Jennifer Scordo joined the party too.
Tommy Greene joined his former teammate Ricky Bottalico for a 1990s Philadelphia Phillies reunion. Philadelphia Flyers radio play-by-play announcer Tim Saunders also teamed up with Pat Egan for a great duo.
The beautiful, breezy day on the links came as somewhat of a surprise during the dog days of summer. The cool weather and a few Arnold Palmer Spiked Iced Teas kept the crowd happy.
The scramble style required golfers to play the best ball of any of their teammates on a given hole.
The day quickly became a success, despite the interesting debates over everyone’s preference for their favorite color of Philadelphia Eagles. The release of the Kelly Green gear spurred some competition against the Midnight Green style of the modern (and more successful) era.
John Kincade, a two-time cancer survivor about to win his third battle, emceed the final activities of the day before all attendees sat down for a solid meal after a long day.
Events like the Fanatic Charity Golf Classic bring the opportunity for the Fanatic staff to interact with station listeners for an excellent cause and an altogether great experience.
