About the Classic
The Boys & Girls Club Golf Classic, which has run 42 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.
