Scotland County golfers will have the opportunity to do plenty of both Sept. 28 when the Scottish Pilot Club's annual Barbara Sasseen Memorial Golf Tournament is held at Scotch Meadows Country Club in Laurinburg.
"Last year's tournament was a big success, even with the economy the way it is," said club President Mary Ann Salemme. "We are hoping to do the same again, and encourage all to come out for a day of fun in support of the Scottish Pilot Club’s largest annual fundraiser."
The tournament is open to men and women and will be a two best ball format composed of four person teams using 75 percent of their handicap. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three teams in addition to prizes for longest drive and closest to the pin for men and women.
"A shotgun start will begin at 10 a.m. with sign-ins beginning at 9 a.m.," Salemme said. "All players will be served breakfast consisting of an assortment of biscuits, fruit, coffee and juice. An awards luncheon will follow play at approximately 1:30 p.m."
The tournament entry fee is $60 per person and includes the green fee, a cart, breakfast, refreshments on course and lunch. Mulligans will be sold for $5, limit two.
In addition to the golf tournament, the club will be hosting its Bridge and Brunch event occurring simultaneously in the Scotch Meadows Club House. Other card games may also be played.
"Golfers and card players are encouraged to get their teams and tables lined up for a day of fun," Salemme said. We are hoping for pretty weather and lots of participants, playing bridge or golf."
Tournament entry forms will soon be available from any Scottish Pilot Club member or at the Scotch Meadows Country Club Pro Shop.
