The Sunland Women’s Golf Association (SWGA) and Sunland Lady Niners are joining together to sponsor “Drive for the Cure” Golf Tournament on Thursday, Sept. 24.
Cost for the tournament and lunch is $38 for 18 holes, $28 for nine holes. Sunland members’ cost is $18 each for nine or 18 holes. Power carts are available to rent for $15 per seat for 18 holes or $8 per seat for nine holes.
Anyone wanting to attend the lunch without golfing is welcome; cost for lunch is $14.
Registration deadline is noon Sept. 18. Checks for golf and lunch should be made out to Sunland Golf & Country Club. Donation checks should be made to OMC Foundation.
All money raised will fund breast cancer detection for men and women in need here on the Olympic Peninsula through the Olympic Medical Center Foundation. A minimum donation of $25 per participant is suggested.
The tournament, hosted by Sunland Golf & Country Club, 109 Hilltop Drive, is open to both men and women. A 9 a.m. shotgun start is planned for playing 18 holes, with an 11 a.m. start for playing nine holes.
Lunch follows play, where a raffle for gift baskets will take place.
Fundraising efforts in addition to the donations and raffle include the sale of mulligans and “Magic Putts.”
An anonymous sponsor will match cash donations $1 for every $3 raised, to a maximum of $3,000.
Last year’s event saw more than $7,000 raised.
