Nationally syndicated cartoonist, Jake Vest and The Exchange Club of Mobile invite you to join us at the Rock Creek Golf Club in Fairhope, Alabama on Saturday, May 19th for a great day of golf, fun, food and beverage. All proceeds from this tournament benefit The Exchange Club Family Center's child abuse prevention programs in the Mobile area.

A shotgun start begins at 1:30 p.m. and will be a four person select shot event. You may form your own team or choose to be placed on a team. Handicaps will be required (and verified) and a point system will be used to ensure that each team has a fair chance to take home the title. You won’t go hungry or thirsty while golfing either! You’ll have the beverages of your choice (beer, soda and water) and the all-time, world famous, on course Conecuh “sausage dog” tent (Jake’s favorite place)!

A social hour followed by an Awards Dinner for tournament sponsors, players and their guests begins around 5:00 p.m. Saturday evening. Everyone can browse through the silent auction items at Rock Creek during the social hour and dinner. The silent auction will close bids at 7:30 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the Exchange Club Family Center. There will be a wide variety of items for sale, including That’s Jake golf shirts and hats autographed by Albert Pujols! There are always some real bargains, so don’t miss the silent auction.

Rated 4 ½ stars by Golf Digest, this spectacular Alabama golf course, Rock Creek, was expertly conceived, crafted, and etched along the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay in Fairhope, Alabama. This is truly a unique golf course in the southern region of Alabama with its topography changes and undulations.

The 18-hole, Earl Stone design is enjoyable, forgiving, and captivating. Stone's 7,000 yard championship design challenges both the amateur and the professional. It’s a true test of golf where strategy and accuracy are the name of the game. Rock Creek features numerous doglegs and some of the most distinctive topography in lower Alabama. The topography and foliage of the land, along with dramatic elevation changes and the incorporation of the wetlands, creates many natural hazards while adding to the visual aspect of this magnificent course.

Jake Vest says it best, “Without a big-time corporate sponsor to underwrite the effort, without real celebrity draw or deep personal pockets to dig into and with little or no personal recognition, these folks have put on a first-rate tournament for 20 years now. I’m amazed every time I see it happen. It’s just a bunch of regular old folks who have jobs and children, no extra time and a lot of extra obligations that they ought to be tending to. But they find the time and money to do this fund-raiser for child abuse prevention efforts in Mobile.”
