On August 5, you can join thousands of golfers from all across the country by teeing off in the ninth annual World’s Largest Golf Outing charity golf tournament. It’s a great opportunity to support a worthy cause as you play a public access or private club you might not otherwise experience. The event, the brainchild of Billy Casper Golf CEO Peter Hill, benefits the Fisher House Foundation and its network of comfort homes that provide free temporary housing for the families of military personnel and veterans receiving care at military and VA medical centers. There are 82 Fisher Houses in the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Germany.
