GreenLight Fund BOSTON 2020 Golf Tournament Program

GREENLIGHT’S 

A Ryder Cup style tournament featuring GreenLight’s 

newest portfolio organization, Per Scholas 

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2020 // WESTON GOLF CLUB


Thank you for joining us in support of the GreenLight Fund and our 12th portfolio organization: Per Scholas! 

We know this year is different than most, and that is why we are especially 

grateful that you have joined us for a day of competition and fun. We hope 

you enjoy today’s activities featuring our 12th portfolio organization, Per 

Scholas! Per Scholas, a truly amazing organization, sees a 400% increase 

in salary for low-wealth residents by providing training and industryrecognized 

credentials in the IT sector. In their first four years, Per Scholas 

will reach close to 800 adults —and help move many more families out of 

poverty. In response to COVID-19, Per Scholas expanded its remote learning 

capabilities and training to support the global shift to increased remote 

work. By providing an innovative solution for employment and increased 

income for families, our hope is to change trajectories for adults and their 

families and meet the needs of our time. 

Per Scholas is an organization with the potential to bolster the recovery 

efforts after the dramatic impact of COVID-19, and, now more than ever, it 

is important to come together to support the work of organizations like 

theirs. None of this would be possible without people like you - friends, 

partners, and sponsors, both here in person and in spirit! 

As we work to rebuild as a city and as a nation, we need your help, not 

just to restore our community back to what it was, but to reimagine what 

our city could be. The past eight months have brought to light glaring 

injustices experienced by Black, Indigenous and communities of color 

across our country for generations. As we reckon with our past and 

present, we continue to work towards a future Boston that is healthy, just, 

and inclusive. This future will require new and innovative solutions just 

like Per Scholas as we continue to serve more than 100,000 Bostonians 

each year. 

Proceeds from today’s tournament will go to support GreenLight Boston’s 

work as we bring in innovative solutions like Per Scholas. We plan to 

remain innovative and flexible to the needs of the time, working with 

community leaders to identify organizations that can tear down barriers 

and open opportunities. And we will do this with our long-time supporters 

and champions — especially you! 

Safety guidelines for today’s tournament and instructions for accessing 

our virtual hole activities can be found in this booklet. We hope you 

have a safe, fun day, and enjoy learning more about what the future 

holds for GreenLight Boston and Per Scholas! 

Enjoy the day!

GREENLIGHT FUND: 

INVESTING IN CHANGE 

The GreenLight Fund transforms the lives of children, youth and families in high-poverty urban areas through the GreenLight Method. 

• Identify critical unmet needs 

• Import innovative, entrepreneurial programs that can have a significant, measurable impact, and 

• Galvanize local support to help programs reach and sustain impact in the new city. 

We call our approach the GreenLight Method. The GreenLight Method is a five-part process that focuses our investments where they will make the most 

impact. It’s how we stay nimble enough to address pressing needs and seize opportunities as they arise. 

WE DISCOVER 

We assess the local landscape to discover 

opportunities for transformation: urgent 

issues that are currently not being directly 

addressed, and where smart, effective 

approaches would make a significant 

difference in the lives of low-income children 

and families. 

WE SCOUT 

We search the country for the most effective 

solutions: the nonprofits that are creating 

new ways to deliver services, connect with 

their clients and sustain their work. 

WE SELECT 

We look at hundreds of nonprofits each year. 

Through rigorous due diligence we select the 

nonprofit that is the best fit for the 

community—that meets identified needs 

with innovation and impact that can be 

successfully replicated. 

WE INVEST 

We invest our funds, time and passion. Our 

community connections and strategic 

advice help organizations ramp up and start 

producing direct, meaningful change in the 

community. We continue this support so that 

each organization can thrive over time. 

WE MEASURE 

We measure the growth and effectiveness of 

our investments and share that information 

with investors, partners and the local 

community

GREENLIGHT FUND: Meeting Community Needs with Proven Solutions 

STEP 1: 

DISCOVER 

MEET THE PER SCHOLAS LEADERSHIP TEAM 

The GreenLight Method, a five-part process, provides a focused approach to making 

investments where they will have the most impact. It’s how we stay nimble enough 

to address pressing needs and seize opportunities as they arise. 

We are an on-the-ground partner who deeply cares about our community. To ensure 

early and long-term success, the GreenLight Fund provides significant resources 

and strategic support during a portfolio organization’s first years in Boston. Each 

portfolio organization continues as part of the GreenLight Boston family thereafter. 

The latest addition is Per Scholas. 

Adults of all ages deserve well-paying jobs and careers. We are excited to welcome 

Per Scholas to the Greater Boston community.

Robin Nadeau — Managing Director, Greater Boston 

Robin is a servant leader who creates opportunity, fosters social change, and grows collaboration. She has over 

20 years experience in workforce development, education, and community development — both domestically 

and internationally —having served communities in over twenty states, as well as in Ukraine and Poland. She is 

passionate about creating access and opportunity for people who face barriers to employment. 

Her work includes past positions of leadership at nonprofits, including School and Main Institute, Year Up, and Goodwill 

Industries International, leading program design, management, and organizational growth, as well as facilitating social 

change and partnership efforts at national, regional and local levels. She has experience facilitating and coaching leaders in 

education, nonprofits, and business, and growing long-term partnerships between the public and private sectors. The crux 

of Robin’s work has always been systems-building partnership efforts, skill building, collaborative leadership, and crosssector 

collaboration. 

PER SCHOLAS: Plans for Boston 

Under the leadership of the Per Scholas Greater Boston team, more than 800 adults 

will receive free training and preparation for a career in IT over the next four years. 

Founded in 1995 in the Bronx, Per Scholas was created to bridge the digital divide by reconditioning old computers and 

giving them away to schools and families in need. As part of this mission, they trained adults from the community 

to recondition computers. Holding on to talent from the community was difficult — they realized that residents, 

once completing Per Scholas training, were leaving for better paying jobs, taking with them the skills employers 

desperately needed. More than two decades later, Per Scholas has evolved to a national organization, opening doors 

to transformative technology careers for individuals from often overlooked communities in about a dozen cities. This 

year, Per Scholas enrolled its 10,000th student. 87% of graduates are people of color and 31% are women.

WELCOME 

to the 

Weston 

Golf Club 

1 

PAR 4 

A Donald Ross Course 

Since 1894, The Weston Golf Club has earned its 

reputation for honoring the skill of the game of golf. 

The Par 72, 18-hole golf course was originally designed by 

Donald Ross and is the focal point of the club. 

Although the Club opened in 1894, the current location 

was built in 1916-1917. Donald Ross designed the original nine 

holes and the expanded par-71 layout, which opened in 1923. 

The two newest holes (11 and 12, designed by Geoffrey 

Cornish) were added in 1965. These replaced a very 

short par 3 and one par 4, and brought the course to 

its current par-72 layout. Improvements during 

the 1990’s included new tees on 16 and 17. 

1 

The first hole at Weston is a straight forward opening par 4 

that can be reached in two shots with a good drive. A player 

that avoids the bunkers to the left of the fairway and the 

heavy rough on the right will be rewarded. The green is well 

guarded by bunkers to the left and short right but Donald Ross 

has created lots of room to run up on longer shots.

Managing Director Robin Nadeau!

The second hold at Weston is a demanding 3-shot, 

straightaway par 5. A drive in the fairway allows the player 

to carefully navigate the layup area that is heavily bunkered. 

The third shot is played uphill to a tiered green, 

with a severe false front. Depending on the hole location, 

the approach shot can be difficult and putting as well 

if you are not on the proper level. 

2 3 

The third hole at Weston is a long, downhill par 3 has a 

classic look of a New England, Donald Ross golf hole. 

The green is surrounded by a collection area on the left 

side and is protected by a large bunker on the right. 

The green slopes from rear-left to front-right and it may 

be difficult for a player to control their speed.

The fourth hole at Weston is a long par 4 that will test even 

the best of players. The landing zone is guarded by a very 

penalizing fairway bunker. A good drive down the left side will 

leave a short to mid iron into one of the most difficult putting 

surfaces at Weston. The green is guarded by bunkers both to 

the left and front right, with a narrow, steep collection area 

behind the green. There is a large mound in the middle of the 

putting surface that creates many interesting hole locations. 

4 5 

The fifth hole at Weston is the final hole in a stretch of long 

and demanding shots that a player faces to start their round. 

This is the most demanding tee shot of all the par 3’s here at 

Weston. The green is raised and heavily bunkered with 

a treacherous chipping area to the right of the green. 

Birdies are rare, and pars are always a good score.

Per Scholas during this pandemic.

7PAR 4 

The sixth hole at Weston is a classic risk/reward par 5. 

The player must decide if they want to be aggressive and take 

their drive over the mound, left of the landing zone. 

Players may also play short of the mound or to the right. 

Although it’s a huge advantage, the tee short does not require 

a long drive, but rather a well-positioned drive. Reachable in 

two shots, this large green slopes from back to front with a 

steep false front that will challenge the player with multiple 

shot varieties and a difficult putting surface. 

6 

7 

The seventh hole at Weston is the club’s signature hole. 

The hole lends itself to either a conservative or aggressive 

tee shot. An aggressive play off the tee allows for a short iron 

or wedge into a green that slopes back to front, favoring the 

player. This is a great birdie opportunity with a good tee shot 

in the fairway. The green is severely sloped from back left to 

front right which places a premium on your approach shot.

The eighth hole at Weston is a classic short par 4 with 

a narrow fairway. Trees and a rocky landscape on the right 

side challenge the player to hit a precise tee shot. 

Then the player is faced with a short iron or wedge approach 

to a perched, narrow, and two-tiered green that is very 

difficult to putt if the approach is not placed properly. 

8 9 

The ninth hole at Weston is a very demanding finish to 

the front 9. The player faces a downhill tee shot to a narrow, 

sloping fairway into a prevailing wind. The green is receptive 

to approach shots due to its severe slope from rear left 

to front right, but is very treacherous to putt.

PAR 4 

The tenth hole at Weston is a beautiful mid-range par 3, 

with par always being a good score. While it requires a 

modest 165 yard shot, balls that aren’t hit to the putting 

surface are very difficult to get up and down. The green 

is raised and falls off on all sides with deep bunkers 

guarding the front left and front right. The putting surface 

is heavily contoured and difficult to read.

11 

The eleventh hole at Weston has water to the right of the 

fairway that also needs to be carried on a player’s approach 

shot to the green. A good drive off the tee to the left or 

short off the pond is faced with a long approach. This long 

and gradually sloping green is guarded on both sides 

by bunkers and is the number 2 handicap hole.

PAR 4 

The twelfth hole at Weston is a great birdie opportunity 

that is sandwiched between two difficult par 4’s. Players have 

the option between hitting a short or a longer and aggressive 

tee shot. The approach shot is played over a pond to a large 

green with a severe false front and bunkers on either side. 

12 

The thirteenth hole at Weston is a bunkerless, dog leg left 

par 4 that is one of the most difficult holes on the course. 

The blind fairway bends to the left between the trees that 

requires a long drive to reach the green in two shots. 

The approach shot is placed to a raised green that has 

two tiers and many subtle breaks which can make it one 

of the most difficult putting surfaces on the course.

PAR 4 

The fourteenth hole at Weston is a beautiful par 5 that 

is reachable in two for long hitters. There is plenty of room 

to drive the ball, but a drive that is hit left or right will have 

a difficult time navigating the bunkers of the layup area. 

The approach shot is played to a punchbowl style green 

that is surrounded by bunkers and collection areas. 

14 15 

The fifteenth hole at Weston is a heavily bunkered, mid-range 

par 4 with out of bounds to the left over the stone wall. 

The player has the option to hit a fairway wood or hybrid 

off the tee to avoid these obstacles. The approach shot is 

played to a raised green that is severely sloped from rear 

left to front right with a false front. It is paramount that 

players stay below the hole on their approach shot.

PAR 3 

The sixteenth hole at Weston is a great par 4 with 

our signature logo tree just to the right of the player’s landing 

zone. The player must avoid a serious of deep, penalizing 

bunkers just to the left of the fairway. The approach shot 

is played to a very small, classic Donald Ross turtleneck 

green. This green is difficult to hold from anywhere other 

than the fairway. The green slopes from back to front 

and is very difficult to putt.

17 

The seventeenth hole at Weston is a downhill par 3 

that is guarded by bunkers in the front left 

and right with a collection area to the rear left 

and directly behind the green. 

A tee shot to the center of this green 

will give a player a great 

opportunity at birdie.

PAR 5 

The eighteenth hole at Weston is a reachable par 5

that has a noticeable spine that runs down the midsection, 

separating the left and right side of the green.
