Waiting list started for weekend tournament

By Sam Waller

Xi Chi Pi Sorority expects to have a full field for its fourth annual Scholarship Golf Scramble, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 7 at Albany Golf Course.

“We’re completely full at this point,” organizer Lauren Peacock said. “We even have a couple of extras on a list just in case someone has to drop out at the last second. That’s happened to us in the past, and we want to avoid that this year.”

Peacock said it’s still possible to get into the tournament if teams are forced to withdraw.

“Folks can always call on the day of and see,” she said. “You just never know.”

To check, contact Peacock at 325-762-6253.

Entry fee for the three-person scramble is $150 per team, which includes a fish fry following the competition. Tee time is 1:00 p.m.

The event raises funds for scholarships benefitting Albany High School graduates. Scholarships are awarded by a committee that reviews students’ application letters.

In addition to a payout to the top three places, door prizes and raffle prizes will be offered.
