2026 Grandravine Charity Classic
The 2026 Grandravine Charity Classic rolled in early this year with a new morning start and plenty of sunshine, smiles, and just the right amount of friendly mischief. Between the delicious eats, playful pre-game challenges, and a full day on the fairways, it was the kind of tournament that reminded everyone why this event is such a beloved tradition.
Fuel before the fairways: Golfers were welcomed by the irresistible scent fresh coffee and sweet delights. Our volunteers served it all with their usual warmth, while I Love Gelato kept everyone cool, caffeinated, and happily debating whether espresso, gelato, or the famous Afocado was the day’s true MVP.
A little game-day goofiness: Before the tournament officially began, the Golf Dart Game had everyone aiming, laughing, and possibly questioning their hand-eye coordination. Tennis balls, giant Velcro targets, and oversized clubs made it impossible not to join in the fun.
And they’re off: At 10:00 AM, 232 golfers headed out under a beautiful blue sky. The $10,000 hole-in-one prize decided to stay just out of reach, but there was still plenty to cheer for with the longest drive and closest-to-pin winners taking their well-earned bows.
Pizza to the rescue: Once the tournament was in full swing, Eatzza My Pizza arrived with wood-fired slices to keep spirits high and stomachs very satisfied until dinner.
Back to the clubhouse: After the final putt dropped, guests gathered at the Cardinal Clubhouse for a buffet dinner, raffle draws, and prize presentations hosted by Michael Liotta and Grandravine’s army of volunteers.
A big round of applause: Of course, none of the day’s magic happens without the people who make Grandravine shine:
- Our passionate crew of volunteers
- Photographers Terry Mancini, Colleen Yates & Top Drawer Images
- Jason McNally and the Cardinal Golf Club staff
- The powerhouse team at Coro Electric, especially Mike and Alessandra Corvinelli
And to every sponsor and golfer who continues to show up year after year — thank you. You are the reason Grandravine keeps thriving, giving, and bringing people together.
Until next year, keep your drives straight, your putts lucky, and your golf jokes ready!
