MSWU Golf Tourney Saturday

 

 

There is still time to register for the Fourth Annual Main Street West Union Fundraising Golf Tournament being held at City’s Edge Golf & Grill on Saturday, June 28.

Tournament director Derek Heins said, “There is still room for more teams. Anyone interested can contact me at (563) 380-5111.”

This is a 3-person, best-shot event, with an optional 8-inch cup, which has proven to be lots of fun in past tourneys.

According to Heins, “The 8-inch cup tournaments are always fun to play. We will also have prizes for closest to the pin, longest drive in the fairway, shortest drive in the fairway, closest in second shot, and longest putt.”

Golfers of all ability levels are welcome to join in this day of fun.

Proceeds from the tourney support Main Street summer events in West Union, making the tournament a great way to support your community!
