PARIS — The Western Maine Veterans’ Advisory Committee will host its third annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 24, at Fairlawn Golf Course in Poland to benefit residents of the Maine Veterans Home in South Paris.
WMVAC is still accepting players and sponsors, but hurry. Last year’s tournament was such a success that this year’s tournament is filling up fast. Last year, with 120 players, over $5,000 was raised to benefit the veterans.
The event will begin at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start.
Registration for the scramble format tournament for each player is $75. The fee includes 18 holes of competition, t-shirt, use of a cart, one free Mulligan, a catered meal and a number of products from local sponsors. Trophies will be awarded to winners in various categories.
All golfers will be entered into a drawing for one try at a $1 million hole-in-one shot. There is also a hole-in-one prize of a new car sponsored by Goodwin’s Chevrolet.
“Someone could potentially walk away from this tournament with $1 million or a new car,” said Ron Snow, WMVAC golf committee chairman.
Raffle tickets are currently being sold for $5 for a 50-inch flat screen TV. The winning ticket will be drawn at the tournament; player does not have to be present to win.
To register or sponsor the tournament, call Snow at (207) 744-9156 or email [email protected].
