Lexus Charity Golf Tournament Recap 2024
Lexus Charity Golf Tournament Recap 2024
Posted on September 5, 2024
Lexus South Pointe is proud to present our first annual charity golf tournament, which was held on August 8th, 2024. This year's goal was to unite our community, host a fantastic event, and give back to those who need it. We teamed up with YESS (Youth Empowerment Support Services) as our donation recipient for 2024.
With raffle prize tickets, flop ball contests, longest putt challenges, complimentary Lexus South Pointe leather Boston golf bags, and dinner included, the tournament was such a success. From great tunes from DJ Kwake to our incredible sponsors, read on to hear the awesome items we had for our golfers and how much was raised for charity.
Charity Golf Tournament Recap - The Course
We were thrilled to partner with The Ranch Golf & Country Club this year. Our participants enjoyed a round of Texas Scramble across 18 holes with a shotgun start at 2:15 PM.
Gorgeous weather, a beautiful country club, and green as far as the eye can see. If you haven’t yet enjoyed a round of golf at The Ranch, this is your sign. You can view their course layout, times, and rates here.

Our Lexus South Pointe team had two booths on the course, with the tent at Hole 13 offering detail package specials and complimentary sunglasses. A sunny afternoon called for a new pair of shades, that’s for sure!
Our second tent at Hole 17 offered a hole-in-one offer to win a Lexus! It was a great challenge for novice and experienced golfers alike, and we enjoyed watching them step up to the challenge.
