A special shoutout goes to the Team Green by VCD Green at Visual Concepts & Designs for helping us create the merchandise and swag that made our inaugural tournament look first-class from start to finish.
Behind the scenes, tournament organizer Sammy Woods and more than a dozen Natchitoches Lions Club members gave their time, energy and plenty of hard work to turn an idea for an inaugural tournament into a fantastic day on the course. And a very special thank you to Lion Chuck Stoker, who worked the grill all day making sure everyone was well fed! 🍔🦁
And finally, THANK YOU TO OUR GOLFERS! You showed up, played hard, had fun and supported the work of the Natchitoches Lions Club. Ultimately, that is what this tournament was all about—raising funds that allow Lions to continue serving our community and supporting the causes that mean so much to us.
From our sponsors and supporters to our volunteers and golfers, YOU made year one possible.
🦁⛳ The inaugural Roaring Lions Classic gave us plenty to ROAR about—and we can’t wait to see you back on the course next year!
