A total of 63 business and individual sponsors helped the Museum of Aviation Foundation realize a $330,450 income at the 20 th Annual Georgia Invitational Golf Tournament September 24-25, 2009. The large event held at the Pine Oaks Golf Club at Robins Air Force Base saw a total of 340 golfers compete in three separate rounds of golf for prizes totaling $30,000. This year’s tournament income brings the 20-year total of funds raised for the Museum of Aviation to $5,055,000.

The overall winners of the Tournament was the foursome of Jeff Baggett, Stan Gann, Barbara Shaheen and Chuck Shaheen.

Eddie Wiggins once again chaired the planning committee which provided a course full of volunteer “ambassadors” to assist golfers during the tournament. Golfers received a commemorative golf shirt, a Thursday night traditional “ Plantation Supper,” luncheon buffets and a barbecue awards dinner on Friday evening. “The overwhelming
