Rotary golf tourney set for Aug. 3

Spots are still available for the 16th annual McMinnville Rotary Golf Scramble, which will be held Aug. 3 at the McMinnville Country Club.

The event, which is co-sponsored each year by both McMinnville Rotary clubs, provides scholarship money for local students and benefits the Junior Auxiliary and several other local charities. Over $150,000 has been given to community charities and scholarships from past tournaments.

The tournament is a four-man scramble format, with prizes for first- through third-place awarded in each of two sessions of play. One group of teams will tee off in a “shotgun” start at 8 a.m., and the afternoon session will tee off at 1:30 p.m. Upon registering for the tournament, each team is placed into either the morning or afternoon session.

Willmore Ford will be donating a Ford Explorer as a prize for a hole-in-one during the tournament, and other prizes for closest-to-the-pin and other skills will be up for grabs.

Cost to participate in this year’s event is $75 per person. To register call 473-6010, or contact the McMinnville Country Club pro shop. Players interested in participating in this year’s tournament are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
