On June 6, 2024, Palatine Hills hosted the annual "Special Olympics Charity Golf Scramble" which supports the SLSF (Special Leisure Services Foundation) in support of recreation for children and adults with disabilities. Over 114 golfers joined in the scramble supporting this cause.
For several years Palatine Hills has utilized PHGA volunteers to manage 3 course stations in cooking hotdogs and supplying refreshments for the participating players.
This year our volunteers were Bob Silver, John Helpap, Rich Pipala, George Nassif, Jack Lloyd (and wife), Rick Green, Dan Hengels, Jim Haffey, Ken Emmerich (DeChambeau), and Dan Stockwell. The later 3 volunteers (pictured) claimed the best hotdogs (chili cheese dogs) and proprietary "Birdie Juice" as participants teed off on hole number 13.
