The Roman Open Charities, Inc. were founded in 1975 to support charities in the Whitfield, Murray and Gordon County communities with the funds raised with their single fundraising event The annual Roman Open Charities Golf Tournament, held at the Dalton Golf & Country Club the first Monday after Mother's Day. The entry fee is $250.00 per player, or $1,000.00 per team. In accordance with IRS Regulations, we have determined the fair market value of “goods and services” received is $65 per player. Therefore, $185 of the individual fee may be tax deductible as a charitable donation. The format will be four person select shot. Individual golfers and teams composed of ladies and/or gentlemen are welcome. Your entry fee includes green fees, cart, ditty bags, red tees, prizes, meals, beverages, and an opportunity to win door, closest to the pin, long drive, team and hole-in-one prizes. Our last event included donations that were distributed to over 30 local charities, making this event one of the most successful charity events held in the Dalton area.
