I can sincerely say that as a long – time friend of Brad and Rick, I was elated that they decided to make the effort and bring this event back to life. Collectively, we have so many valuable friendships that spawned from the people involved in the initial formation of this tournament. The special premise of having fun on the golf course with friends and colleagues while committing so much money over the years to needing causes, is truly a significant feat. There is no doubt in my mind that every single individual that participates in this event has an absolute blast and feels terrific about supporting the designated charities that benefit from this tournament. I am proud to be included with such wonderful industry and personal friends and look forward to many more years of fun and having a small part of contributing to people in need. -Roy McGregor, Lodasoft
I wanted to give a quick shout-out to Steve Merka and Jordan Merka for bringing Martini Charity Golf Tournament back to life. I know Mr. Shanks is watching from the heavens with a smile. I have been personally involved with The Martini for over a decade. I love the cause and the hundreds of thousands of dollars that have been given to well-deserving charities over the years. 2021 Martini was a great success. It is only going to get better from here. We are looking forward to 2022. Let’s go out there again and raise some funds and as the name implies, raise some glasses. Martini participant for life. – Nick Ahmad, Lending Shops
George Shanks started the Martini to bring people together and to provide support for many charitable causes. I’m proud of what my father started and grateful to be a part of it. -Brett Shanks, Shanks & Associates
