Every birdie made during the Principal Charity Classic means bucks for charity! Make a pledge and 100% of your donation will go directly to the charity of your choice.
There are two ways to pledge:
A per-birdie amount for every birdie made by the Champions Tour players during the three-day Principal Charity Classic, or
A one-time flat donation
Minimum per-birdie $.02
Minimum flat donation $ 10
Birdies made in 2008 721
Birdies made in 2009 787
Birdies made in 2010 795
For example, a pledge of $.02 per birdie: $.02 x 795 birdies in 2010 =$15.90
The number of birdies can fluctuate due to unforeseeable conditions.
What is a "birdie"?
A “birdie” is a score of one stroke better than “par” for any golf hole on the course. “Par” is the normal expected score of a golf professional on any given hole. For example, on a par 4 hole, a score of 3 is a birdie.
