From staff reports
A golf event remembering the late Dr. David Hampson, who pastored Galloway United
Dr. David Hampson
Methodist Church in Franklin for 15 years, is set next month at Lucky Hills Golf Course in
Franklin.
The premier Dave Hampson Memorial is set for 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27, at Lucky Hills,
where Hampson played many rounds of golf while serving as pastor at the Galloway church.
Up to 18 foursomes can enter the 18-hole event, which will feature a shotgun start,
championship prize ($200), skill prizes (longest drive, longest putt, closest
to the pin), mulligans, an auction, 50/50 drawing, snacks and a picnic.
The entry fee is $200 per foursome. Teams can enter or learn more by contacting co-
chairmen Chris Porter at (814) 437-7396, or christianp1@verizon.net, or Dennis Baker at (814) 437-5066 or dbaker594@verizon.net.
The entry deadline is Wednesday, Aug. 16. Information about several levels of sponsorship for the benefit event also is available from the co-chairmen.
All proceeds will go to Reach One Touch One Ministries (ROTOM), an African mission
organization that Hampson helped to create and that he served as a board member for several
years before he died of cancer in August 2016. ROTOM is a non-profit, non-denominational
mission organization that ministers to vulnerable older persons and their dependents in the East
African nation of Uganda, where Hampson twice visited while serving the ROTOM ministry.
