About The Tournament

The Big Hole Golf Fore Kids Tournament has become a well established fun fundraiser which allows us to support many children’s projects locally. Join the excitement and help a great charity by becoming a sponsor and playing in this year’s tournament.

Our event is a 4 man scramble for a fun day of play.

Have your own team? Great!

Need a team? We will match you up with other players to form a 4-person team!

8 Inch Big Hole

The 8-inch cups are what makes this event so unique. These cups are twice the size of a standard golf cup allowing you to make more amazing putts. Your short game should feel better than ever. Feel the power of Optimism!

How Does Westside Optimist Use The tournament proceeds?

Our Springfield Westside Optimist Club does not receive federal or state funding. Our organization is run by volunteers. It is comprised of dedicated men whose mission is to provide hope, positive vision and to bring out the best in kids.

Your donations, sponsorship, and participation will benefit local non-profit organizations in our area that are committed to the benefit of kids.

Recently we have supported Big Brothers Big Sister, CASA, Wish I May, Bridges For Youth and many more organizations doing great work for kids in our area. Our Club also owns the Westside Optimist Baseball Complex which has baseball leagues for kids on 3 fields at 3250 W. Grand.

We are able to provide assistance to these organizations because of continued community support and your generous donations.

Your support and assistance allow us to continue supporting many local non-profit organizations focused on kids as well as keep our Optimist Baseball fields (on Grand) manicured and open for community enjoyment.
