LA VERGNE PAL HOSTING GOLF TOURNEY

The La Vergne Police Department’s Police Athletic League will host their eighth annual golf tournament fund-raiser on Friday, April 20, 2007 at Smyrna Golf Course, in Smyrna, Tenn.

Registration begins at 11:00 a.m. at the golf course. The putting contest begins at 12 noon. The shotgun start begins at 1p.m. Awards and door prizes will follow the scramble.

“The golf scramble entry fee includes registration, lunch, cart rental, green fees, door prizes and awards,” said PAL coordinator Gerry Howse. “Mulligans are $5 each. They must be used prior to holes 9 and 18 and cannot be used on specialty holes.”

There will be one hole-in-one prize, closest to the pin, longest drive and other prizes.

The scramble is limited to 36 teams, with four golfers per team. Teams will be confirmed only on a first paid basis. There is still space in the tourney and teams may sign up the day of the event. Cost is $75 per player or $300 per team. Hole sponsorships are $150 each.

“The fund-raiser is a fun way to help support our program, which serves La Vergne youth 7 - 17 with a variety of activities including sports, chess, drama, games, movie days and more,” Howse said. “In addition, we offering mentoring for young people in need. The tourney is also a good way to inform the public of the need for bigger and better facilities to help today's young people. We appreciate the public’s participation in this golf scramble and know that they’ll enjoy this year’s event.”
