Reigning champs Tate Gorman, Joe Cunningham, Adam Meierhofer and Jason Ford surround true champion - CCA kid Jylian.

Tate Gorman has thrown down the gauntlet. He’s issued a challenge to his Lake Highlands friends and Exchange Club buddies to knock him and his team off their perch as reigning champs of the Links of Love golf tournament benefitting the Children’s Craniofacial Association (CCA). Though Tate and Adam Meierhofer are busy as founding chairmen of LH’s first annual Oktoberfest, they’ve made time to defend their crown in the CCA tournament/scramble Friday, September 30 – the day before Oktoberfest’s big day on the LH Town Center site.

“I became involved with the CCA after we learned that my son, John, has Crouzon’s syndrome,” said Tate, who serves on the CCA board and has played in the tournament several years since his son’s diagnosis. “The CCA is a national non-profit that raises funds for research on craniofacial syndromes and brings public awareness and support to affected individuals and families. September is Craniofacial Awareness Month, and Exchange Club members Justin Bono and Patrick Brown play in this tournament as well. LHEC’s Bill Sims is a former board member.”

If you’d like to play, you can sign up on the tournament website here. Each 4-person team pays $400, which includes lunch, dinner and drinks all day. If you’d like to give Tate a little grief, you can email him here.
