Mark your calendars and plan to join us on Friday, June 25, 2027 at Old Hickory for the 2027 tournament!

The Old Hickory Golf Course in Woodbridge, Virginia was the site of the Foundation Golf Tournament again this year. This year the weather turned was perfect for a great day golf and fellowship. We had a great turnout again with a full field of 144 golfers. The mix of active duty WHCA, former WHCA, and contract support folks make this event special every year. After a welcome by the WHCA Commander, Col Kevin Childs, and Tournament Chairman, Steve Crowder, the players took to the course for a great day of golf and fellowship. As always, skill levels ranged from some really good players to novices, but at the end of the day it really did not matter—everyone had an incredible time. The drink carts, sponsored by Verium, provided refreshment as did the Old Hickory staff who circulated around the course providing assistance. We also would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped with organizing the event, contacting sponsors, checking in players, and acquiring prizes.

After play was completed, all the participants gathered for a delicious buffet meal and stories of good shots, not so good ones, and quite a few golf balls that will never be seen again. Prizes were awarded for the lowest scoring groups and for prize holes.

All profits from the tournament go to the 1600 Communications Foundation to support its scholarship program and other veteran related charities. The scholarship program has awarded thousands of dollars over the years to eligible 1600 Communications Association members and their families.

Our sponsors generous support has consistently made this tournament an extraordinary event year to year. This year’s event was a huge success because of an impressive team of volunteers and the support of the WHCA Command Team.
