The Lake Land College Foundation will host the 19th annual golf classic at Meadowview Golf Course in Mattoon on Friday, May 27 with a shotgun start at noon.
Registration and lunch for the participants will be at 11 a.m. with dinner provided at the end of the day. The entry fee is $125 per golfer or $500 per team of four and includes lunch, 18-holes, cart, refreshments and dinner. All proceeds benefit the Lake Land College Foundation.
“Over the past 19 years this has really become an outing that I think everyone looks forward to and we have a great time raising funds for the foundation,” said Jackie Joines, executive director for college advancement and foundation CEO. “Committee Chair Preston Smith and his committee do a great job. This allows us to continue our mission of assisting with the student experience at Lake Land.”
The golf outing will follow a scramble format with teams of four. Teams or individuals can sign up through the Lake Land College Foundation at lakelandcollege.edu/foundation/golf or by calling 217- 234-5363. Individuals will be placed on a team.
Organizations or individuals can support the foundation with a $100 donation to the golf classic as a tee sponsor. While golfing, participants will have the chance to win a car with a hole-in-one on a par three sponsored by KC Summers, and other major prizes such as $5,000 cash at the putting contest and a skins game with a cash prize.
Prizes will be awarded for low-net and low-gross scores for all male teams, all female teams and mixed (two male, two female) teams. The winners and raffle prizes will be announced at the dinner following the tournament.
