Celebrate the 75th Herman Sani Tournament with your support
Herman Sani (right) is seen talking with Gene Sarazen in August, 1950. Sani served as IGA President in 1929.
The Herman Sani Tournament was inaugurated in 1950 as a testimonial to the man whose name it bears. Sani ran the Iowa Golf Association on a volunteer basis for more than 30 years. His tireless dedication made golf a better game in our state.
This week, during the 75th playing of the Sani Tournament at Echo Valley Country Club, a fundraising campaign is underway to honor Sani’s legacy and raise money for the Iowa Golf Association Foundation’s programs and services. Those funds will be earmarked for everything the IGA Foundation does, including support of multiple junior golf programs.
One anonymous donor has pledged to match up to $75,000, while another donor has pledged to match up to $7,059 (Black Tee yardage at Echo Valley CC) beginning at the start of Round One for all gifts through end of day this Sunday (Aug. 11th) to the initiative. Please consider a gift today and possibly triple its impact to benefit this great game in our state!
