Fore Hadley x Beautiful Golf Courses Charity Auction Preview! 📱

Some tee times unlock more than a fairway. They open doors for families fighting through the longest days of their lives. We sat down with Ryan Bush from the Fore Hadley Foundation and our friend Mike of Beautiful Golf Courses to share how a daughter’s story became a force for good—funding CDH research, survivor scholarships, and NICU grants—through an annual charity auction that also happens to deliver the most exciting golf itinerary you’ll build all year.

We walk through Hadley’s journey and the reality of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, then map the three pillars Fore Hadley supports: cutting-edge pediatric research across leading centers, college scholarships for survivors who often return to care as nurses and NICU pros, and the Angels in the NICU program that sends rolling grants and holiday care packages nationwide. The heart of the engine is the auction: members and clubs donate rounds, public courses offer select tee times, and golfers bid on access to private clubs, international links, and serious stay-and-plays. Think Old Head in Ireland, Lofoten in Norway, Dismal River in the Sandhills, Dormy Network experiences, and West Coast and Southeast standouts—all curated and amplified to a massive audience.

You’ll get practical, no-fluff guidance on how to register and bid on Handbid, when the action spikes, and how to sort lots to build a year of golf you’ll talk about for a decade. We also spotlight why donating a tee time or hosting an accompanied round is a no-brainer for clubs: tax-deductible support, real social reach, and new fans who return for merch, meals, and more. Along the way, we trade notes on Sand Valley, Bandon Trails, Arizona's peak-season sticker shock, and why the planning text thread is the best part of any trip.
