Circle of Love (COL) is proud to celebrate the success of the 11th Annual Circle of Love Golf Tournament, held on November 17 at Harbor Club. Although the event was rescheduled from its original November 10 date due to extreme cold, golfers, sponsors, community partners, and volunteers still came together for an energetic day on the greens, blending friendly competition with a shared commitment to supporting survivors of domestic violence. 

The day began with a warm welcome at registration, where players enjoyed breakfast and explored silent auction items and mulligan packages before heading out for the four-person scramble. Once on the course, teams competed in contests such as Hole in One, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, and the Putting Contest, with awards for top Men’s, Ladies’, and Couples teams. Boxed lunches kept everyone energized, and golfers gathered at the Harbor Club Clubhouse cash bar afterward to celebrate a successful and spirited tournament. 

“This year’s turnout was incredible,” said COL Executive Director Kimberly Bennett. “Our community continues to show unwavering support for the families we serve. We had participants from all the neighboring communities who came to play at Harbor Club. The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee was our presenting sponsor, and they went above and beyond this year, providing refreshments and snacks in addition to their sponsorship. This tournament is a powerful reminder that when people come together with compassion and purpose, we can make a meaningful impact.” 

Circle of Love extends sincere appreciation to all golfers, sponsors, donors, and volunteers who made this event possible. Their generosity and commitment strengthen every aspect of COL’s mission, ensuring that survivors have access to safety, advocacy, essential resources, and the support needed to move forward with confidence. The impact of this community’s involvement reaches far beyond tournament day and continues to make a meaningful difference for families throughout the region.
