Trevor Holland wouldn't say he's obsessed with golf. He just doesn't have much money left.
“We’ve definitely all learned all the technology and understand all about golf now, but we can’t afford it,” Holland said.
About six months ago, Trevor and his friends started getting together at Rockwall Golf and Athletic Club, and other courses in the area, for regular rounds of golf.
And every time they'd up the ante.
“Yeah, little $5 bets on nine, or $10 bets on nine holes,” said golfer Matt Bielski.
“I was definitely walking away with more money than coming in,” laughed Lucas Baker.
However, there's only so much joy you can pocket from winning a bet.
So, a few months ago, before getting together again, Holland came to the guys with a proposal.
“I just sent everybody a text asking them to donate to people that need it,” Holland said.
“I thought, why not, let’s do it," said Micah Allen.
“I’m all in," Bielski said. "All in. Let’s do it, let’s see how far we can take it.”
The next time they golfed, instead of making bets, they used their money to buy more than 100 cans of food for local food pantries.
After that, they raised more than $6,000 to buy school supplies for kids and just this week, they collected 275 pairs of socks for the homeless.
They've dubbed themselves Bros for Charity, and they say they've never been this happy playing golf.
“It just feels better than winning five bucks from your buddy,” Bielski said.
“It’s actually made it more relaxing," said golfer Brad Yarborough. "To be able to have fun with your friends while you’re helping out people, that just does a number to the heart.”
“We wanna make this thing grow as much as we can, help as many people as we can,” said golfer Blaine Snider.
To that end, later this month, they're planning their biggest event yet: a putt-putt tournament to help women in Rockwall County pay for mammograms.
“Guys that don’t even golf come out here and they wanna be a part of it cause they wanna help their community, they grew up in this community,” Baker said.
“I absolutely love this community, it’s awesome," Allen said. "And any way to make it better I wanna try to make it better.”
Sounds like they're on course to make a difference.
