SEVEN HILLS—Boasting a day on the greens, dinner, a huge prize table and the chance to help out a local cause, registration has opened for the annual Loggers Golf Tournament, which will return to Seven Hills Golf and Country Club June 14-15.
Loggers Golf last year funded six scholarships with the profits from the sell-out tourney, which drew 144 players. This year organizers are aiming for the same number, with a June 11 registration cut-off.
Those interested can sign up as foursomes or individually, to be assigned to teams. Three 18-hole flights will take place over the weekend with a barbecue supper to follow each flight. The tourney is a four-player, best-ball format and the $65 per person entry covers green fees, dinner and a prize. Additional auctions, raffles and 50/50 draws will also be available over the weekend.
To register, or for more information, contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234.
