Now in its 23rd year, this seminal outing raises funds for Chicago Commons’ vital programs providing early childhood education, family support services, and senior care throughout Chicago and beyond. The Evans-Blossom Golf Outing is integral to Chicago Commons’ mission to empower individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty and systemic barriers, embrace opportunities, and thrive across generations.

This event is coordinated by our Golf Committee comprised of Amit Mehta (Chair), Ronald Kaminski, Claire Drew, Sam Lincoln, and Patrick Martin. Thank you to Annette Dezelan, a longtime supporter and former board member of Chicago Commons and our host at Shoreacres.

Location
Located on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, beautiful and historic Shoreacres is a “bucket list” course for many golfers. Shoreacres is lauded by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine who ranked the course #54 and #25, respectively, of the top 100 courses in the US.

Format
Foursomes have the option of playing indexed or non-indexed. If you are playing this event as an indexed one, you must provide an official CDGA or USGA GHIN index prior to the event, not your handicap. To play an indexed event, your entire foursome needs to have an official CDGA or GHIN index. If all players do not have one of these, we will transition your foursome to play a non-indexed round in scramble format.

Dress Code
Collared golf shirts and Bermuda-length shorts are required. Jeans, cut-offs, t-shirts and any article with printed slogans are prohibited. Non-metal spikes are required for all golfers.

Foursomes are sold out. Contact Cheryl at Cheryl@ChicagoCommons.org to inquire about being added to a waiting list.
