On Thursday, July 18, 2013, the Poop Deck Eagles Golf Club donated $5,000.00 to the Rotary Club of West Nassau. The donation was made by Freddie Lightbourn, a member of the Club and owner of the Poop Deck Restaurant at Sandyport. Present at the donation was Past Assistant District Governor Brendon Watson, Rotary Club of West Nassau President Carleton Blair, Past District Governor Barry Rassin, Past District Governor John Robertson and members from the Rotary Club of West Nassau.
The Poop Deck Eagles Golf Club was started in 2004 as a small group of guys with a vision to not only enjoy the game of golf, but to do a little something to make a difference in our community.
Their first Charity Tournament was played in 2006 with great success. With lots of help from their corporate friends, and the inclusion of female members, The Poop Deck Eagles have become one of the more diverse and benevolent golf groups in the Bahamas. With the proceeds of last year’s tournament, they are pleased to note that they will have assisted local charities and youth organizations with over $245,000.00.
The Eagles have been very fortunate to have some very generous corporate friends over the years who have made this all possible.
Special Thanks to the sponsors of the 2012 Charity Golf Tournament
