About the Classic

The Boys & Girls Club Golf Classic, which has run 39 consecutive years since 1972, is dedicated to John Red” Larsen. Red participated in almost every tournament and was Chairman for more than half. It was common to see Red stuffing Tee-Favor Bags” on Sunday night or putting out sponsor signs in the morning mist. His love for children and his dedication to this Boys & Girls Club were rivaled only by his love for his family and the game of golf.
