Set your Sights on the Green
while helping Illinois schools embrace educational technology
Step up to the tee for the inaugural LTC Gives Golf Outing, a fun-filled special event for educators and golf enthusiasts. Grab your clubs and join us for 18 holes of scenic play on one of northern Illinois’ premier courses.
This tournament is more than just a game; as you play, you’ll also be supporting impactful technology adoption and integration in Illinois K-12 schools – one putt at a time.
From these proceeds, districts and educators will be able to apply for micro-grants that help them reach their technology goals and make an ace-worthy impact on student learning.

At Every Hole
Just a chip shot south of Rockford, PrairieView is a well-conditioned par 72 course that treats golfers to a mix of tight tree-lined holes and open links-style holes.
Whether you’ve been playing the links for years or you’re eager to try out your new clubs, this course’s rolling hills offer a balanced challenge that’ll keep your shotmaking sharp as you move from green to green.
Gameplay & Rules
Format
For this 4 person scramble, each team will be limited to a maximum of 4 players (any experience level).
At each hole, each player hits a shot. The group chooses the best shot, and the team moves to that spot. This process is repeated until the ball is holed out.
Teams will be registered on a first come, first served basis. Individual players will be placed onto teams if they have not already chosen one at tee time.
Check-in & lunch run from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with a shotgun start at 1:00 PM.
Contests & Prizes
Several contests will be held concurrently during the tournament. Across the event, multiple prizes will be awarded for men and women golfers with:
- Longest Drive
- Longest Putt
- Closest Drive to the Pin
- Best Overall Score
Raffle prizes will also be available for bidding throughout the day.
