Description

The 19th Hole Party is back! Save Muny and Criquet Shirts is pleased to announce the return of the best party of the year. Please join us as we celebrate Lions Municipal Golf Course or "Muny" and let our local leaders and the University of Texas know how important this beautiful green space is to our community. It is critical for us to send a loud and clear message. Whether Lions is where you play golf or walk your dog, or if it is a place that you value and admire as the first desegregated municipal golf course in the South, its importance to the City of Austin cannot be overstated. Enjoy cocktails, food, lawn games, a silent auction, and other opportunities to raise funds to help Save Muny once and for all. Typically held during the week of the WGC Dell Match Play tournament, this years rescheduled event will celebrate the past, present, and future of golf in Austin as well as the ability to once again gather safely as a community. Lions Municipal Golf Course is Austin’s oldest and most beloved public golf course, a treasured urban green space recognized as a nationally significant civil rights historical site. It has been named to the National Trust for Historic Places 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Our city is in danger of losing this invaluable property to development, but Muny can still be saved with your support. "This is an iconic Austin treasure, a place where Ben Hogan and Harvey Penick battled Morris Williams Jr. and Ed Hopkins, where Sandra Haynie of O. Henry and LPGA fame won four city championships, where Crenshaw and Tom Kite honed their Hall of Fame games, and where two young black men who caddied asked to play a round at Muny in 1950 and thankfully were not denied. Hard to put a price on all that.” - Kirk Bohls, Austin American Join us at The 19th Hole to build awareness and raise funds for The Muny Conservancy, non-profit organization working to save and renovate the course for future generations. *Due to goods received, tickets to the 19th Hole Party are not tax deductible.
