Lions host 25th annual Charity Golf Tourney

BY

The Canyon Lake Lions Club is sponsoring its 25th annual Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, April 9 at the Canyon Lake Golf Course. Two different games are available.

Sign up for a four-person scramble, open to all players with or without a handicap. Players can pick their own foursome or be assigned to a foursome.

The alternate game is a Pro-Am event open to all players with a handicap. Three amateurs will be paired with the Pro for a team in a two-best ball format. Deadline for entry is April 1.

For a $5 donation, anyone landing in the small circle on Hole 15 in one shot will receive $50, or $25 for landing in the larger circle. There will be a putting contest, a longest drive between two lines on hole 14 for both men and women and, for a $2 donation, an opportunity to get a prize for being closest to the pin on holes 2, 8, 11 and 17.

Sponsorships are being sought for tee signs, green signs, longest drive and putting contest. For sponsorship information, contact Phil Coughlin at 951-805-0223. Organizers say this is an excellent opportunity to advertise one’s business while helping a great organization. Canyon Golf Carts & Motorsports is sponsoring a hole-in-one prize for hole 11.

To register to play golf, contact co-chairs Phil Coughlin or Golf Pro Pat Kemball at 951-246-1782. The cost is $60 to enter (Includes banquet and awards). Green fees are $28 and Cart Fee is $15. Entry forms are available in the Golf Pro Shop.

This annual charity event has raised over $200,000 over the past 24 years for Lion charities such as Guide Dogs of the Desert, Canine Companions, Friends in Sight, City of Hope, Loma Linda Eye Center, Loma Linda Ronald McDonald House, disaster relief all over the world plus many organizations around Canyon Lake.
