Katherine Disney, president of Golfworksforewomen, a nonprofit charity, needs help to distribute golf equipment collected in a drive Dec. 10-31.

The women's group has created a charity called Golfworksforeteens to collect and recycle golf equipment for indigent teens who want to learn to play.

"I think we collected enough equipment to outfit six or eight teams," Ms. Disney said. "I would love to get a call from an athletic director from a school, saying they wanted to start a team but didn't have the equipment. We have the equipment."

She said most of the equipment includes clubs, bags, towels, balls, caps and visors, collared golf shirts, shoes and socks.

She said the group selected the holiday season for the collection drive because many golfers upgrade their equipment at Christmas and discard the old.

"All of the collections came through the three Re/Max Unlimited offices," she said.

"I am not looking to develop the next generation of golf pros. However, learning the basics of golf is becoming as important as learning proper table manners to your future business success."

Ms. Disney is a sales agent for the Re/Max Symmes Township office.

She said the equipment will be distributed this spring. An individual teen or teen groups that could benefit from the supplies should call Ms. Disney at 310-0916 or e-mail her at foresale@golfcclubhomes.com.

The collection drive continues and equipment can be dropped off at the three Re/Max collection sites: 8291 Beechmont Ave., Anderson Township; 11310 Montgomery Road., suite 216, Symmes Township; and 6092 West Chester Road, West Chester.

Ms. Disney said she has had success in running a local golf organization, including soliciting golf sponsorships, running the regional Re/Max Long Drive competitions and participating in organizing charitable outings.

"A lot of the equipment is barely used," Ms Disney said. "Each year we usually get 15 dozen balls that have been hit one time during the Re/Max Long Drive Competition."

It was all for fun and charity.

A group of friends who usually tie one on Christmas night turned the merriment into a benefit party to raise money for the Northern Kentucky Children's Home.

It happened at the Bleachers Sports Bar, 2515 Ritchie Ave., Crescent Springs, bought last October by L.J. Williams of Villa Hills.

"We would usually get together somewhere and celebrate," Mr. Williams said.

"This year we decided to drink for charity. We had to call it something, so we called it `Tie One On For Charity.' We had about 45 people at the event."

Customers paid $1 for any drink. When all receipts and tips from special guests and celebrity bartenders were totaled up, Mr. Williams said it came to $787.

"I just sent the home a check for that amount last week," Mr. Williams said.
