The 9th Annual St. Jude Golf Tournament will tee off this Saturday, June 21, at the Laolao Bay Golf Resort west course.
A total of five flights are up for grabs in the competition—Championship, A, B, C, and Ladies Flight.
First place for each of the five categories go home with $300, second is $200, and third is $100. All winners will also receive handsome trophies courtesy of the organizing committee. Aside from the Calloway scoring low net score, the Ladies Flight will also have a lowest gross winner.
Hole-in-one challenges are also in the mix in holes No. 3 (automobile), 7 ($10,000), 12 (automobile/motorcycle), and 14 ($10,000).
Participants willing to part with their $25 can also enter skills challenge competitions like closest to the pin in holes No. 3, 7, 13, and 17, longest drive in hole No. 18, and most accurate drive in hole No. 10. Fabulous door prizes also await participants during the awards banquet.
Entry fee is $95 before Friday, June 20, and $110 on tournament day itself. Registration for the golf fundraiser starts at 6am with the event having a shotgun start at 7:30am.
