A Swing Toward Hope: 5th Annual Fairways For Scott

The 5th Annual Fairways for Scott teed off on October 23, 2025, to a beautiful yet brisk morning at the lovely Independence Golf Course. The day began as our awesome volunteers, vendors, and golf course crew greeted 72 golfers for a fun-filled time with games, prizes, great golf, and as always, information about the recovery world and how we are all a part of it.

As always, our participants enjoyed a variety of on-course games including Blackjack, Cornhole, the Longest Drive contest, and even Fling Golf, adding extra excitement and fun throughout the day. We also had some incredible raffle prizes and amazing baskets for our silent auction. We are so grateful to our amazing volunteers and sponsors who contribute and compile all of these items, because the money raised through the raffle and silent auction goes right back into our mission of supporting young people battling Substance Use Disorder through organizations like The Chesterfield Recovery Academy and Rams In Recovery, along with our own advocacy.

Join us as we congratulate this years’ tournament winners!
