The 12th Annual Albany Kiwanis Charity/John Rose & Jim Law Memorial Golf Tournament and Fajita Fiesta will take place at the Albany Golf Course this Friday, Sept. 14.

Money raised from participants and sponsors will help fund the Albany K Charity Scholarship Fund.

The four-person scramble is $50 per golfer, with the fee to include a Fajita Fiesta meal provided by Albany Kiwanians on Friday before the start of the tournament.

Fajita Meal

The fajita luncheon starts at 11:00 a.m., and tickets are $12 for those not entered in the tournament or listed as sponsors. 

Members of the Albany Chamber of Commerce will hold their weekly Friday lunch gathering at the fajita fundraiser tomorrow in order to help support the Kiwanis scholarship drive, and they encourage others to join them.

“Come and join in the food, fun, and fellowship,” said Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones.

Golf Scramble

The golf tournament takes place on Friday afternoon and has a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m.

Mulligans are available for purchase at $10 each.

Prizes will be awarded for the longest drive, closest to the line, closest to the hole, closest to the marker, and top scoring teams.

Sponsorships for the event are available at several levels and vary from the 18-hole sponsors at $175 each up to the platinum sponsor level at $1,000. 

Recognition is given to all sponsors, but organizers can not guarantee that those signed up after Sept. 23 will be acknowledged on all the advertising.

Registrations for the golf tourney will be accepted through Friday, Sept. 27 as long as room is available, according to organizer Steve Waller.
