Play a round; feed the hungry
Rotary Club of Farragut invites the community to a play some mini golf and help feed the hungry with its Community Mini Golf & Food Drive from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 24, at Sir Goony’s, 10925 Kingston Pike. “Our idea is simple,” said Joey Ruffalo, RCF fundraising chairman. “Bring a can; play a round; make a difference. “The mini golf will be free to the community with the donation of one nonperishable food item per person, per round,” Ruffalo said. “We’ll also have food vendors, family fun and an opportunity for people to learn more about Rotary and the work we do in our community.” To make the event possible and raise funds for future Rotary service projects, “we’re inviting local businesses and community partners to become sponsors,” he said. “Sponsorship opportunities currently include: Presenting Sponsor ($1,000), Community Sponsors ($500), Food Drive Sponsor ($500), Standard Hole Sponsors ($150) and Premium Hole Sponsors ($200).

The Farragut community has lost a man whose voice was synonymous with the Admirals’ baseball program. Ralph Skinner, the longtime public address announcer for Farragut baseball, died this past weekend at the age of 71. He served the Admirals in the P.A. role for 25 years, stretching from 2001 to 2026. “Ralph was a really classy guy,” Farragut athletic director Donald Dodgen said of Skinner. “He gave so much dedication and loyalty to the Farragut High School baseball program. He was one of a kind. Always there when we needed some help, and he was more than a P.A. person. He’d make sure the press box was clean, making sure things were working. Just a jack of all trades.” Skinner’s years behind the microphone saw three different head coaches take the helm, as Tommy Pharr’s tenure gave way to that of Matt Buckner before Garrett Copeland took the reins. “Just a lot of the things people have said,” Pharr noted of Skinner. “He was our booster club president when his oldest son Mark was a sophomore or junior, and he was the P.A. guy and has been throughout the years. He was a classy and kind person, helping other people. He loved Farragut baseball and was a big part of the program for more than 20 years.” Pharr reiterated the importance of Skinner’s impact as a husband to his beloved wife, Susie, and a father to sons Mark and Andrew, both of whom played for Farragut. “I got to see him raise his sons, what a good, godly man he was, the husband he was,” Pharr said. “He was a good friend to me. It’s a tough deal.”
