Grand Bahama, Bahamas - The 4th Annual Charles Knowles Golf Tournament was held at the
Fortune Hills Golf Club as a celebration of Charlie's life, who was well
known in the Freeport community. The friendship and fellowship was
evident as the golfers went out full throttle to enjoy the challenge of
good golfing on a picture perfect day. Following the tournament a delicious buffet lunch was served, as family members joined in and prizes
were awarded.
The tournament is organized by Charlie's son, Dwight Knowles of
Keystone Development Group and daughter, Tamese Knowles President of IE
Imports, a company founded by Charles Knowles in 2006, that provides
import/export service to Abaco, Bahamas.
Since the passing of "Papa Charlie" in 2009, his family has kept
his memory alive by hosting this Golf Classic and in keeping with his
interest for the youth in our community, the tournament was expanded to
include junior golfers who were sponsored by businesses from both
Freeport and Abaco.
Raffle prizes were donated by - Kim Roberts, Colette Bootle and
Louis Schneider, from the Abaco arts and crafts community who were
business colleagues of Papa Charlie.
