XCP scramble slated Oct. 7

By Sam Waller

The fourth annual Xi Chi Pi Sorority Scholarship Golf Scramble is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 7 at Albany Golf Course.

Organizer Lauren Peacock said 18 entries for the three-person scramble have already been received. The field is limited to 20 teams.

“If anyone wants a spot, they need to call me ASAP,” Peacock said.

Entry fee 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 for Albany High School graduates. Peacock said the event has grown each year.

“It’s for a good cause, so people have been willing and giving,” she said.

Scholarships are awarded by a committee that reviews students’ application letters.

“A few years ago, we were just giving one scholarship,” Peacock said. “We were able to award four scholarships this year.”

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

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