37th Annual Walker Family Golf Championship

King's Grant Golf & Country Club
Since 1986, the Fayetteville Rotary has hosted the annual Walker Family Golf Classic, a local tradition that raises funds for annual service projects including the annual Fayetteville Christmas Parade, leadership development for local high school students, support of local organizations such as Rick's Place and Better Health of Cumberland County. The tournament originated as the Fayetteville Rotary Club Father-Son-Daughter Golf Championship and was changed in 2015 to a family tournament and "The Walker Classic" in honor of our dear friend and former Club President, Mr. Joe Walker.
Tournament sponsorships benefit organizations through advertising and complimentary tournament entries. Framed Pin Flags with logo are also awarded to Double Eagle and Champion Sponsors. Watch for sponsorship info coming soon.

The 35th annual tournament was held on Saturday, August 21, 2022 and raised $25,600. The tournament was the largest ever with more than 80 players and we had a record number of sponsors. Father and sons, mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, grandfathers and grandkids all played on a day that turned out to have great weather for golf. Brian Drier and son Sutton were the overall winners with a 5 under par 64. Rotarian Tim Richardson did an amazing job as committee chair and over 20 Rotarians assisted him that day.
