Brewster American Legion Golf Fundraiser hits the links August 25

PATEROS – There is still time to hit the links and support Columbia Post 97 of the Brewster American Legion by purchasing a foursome at its golf tournament this week.

The sixth annual American Legion Golf Tournament tees off at the Alta Lake Golf Course on Sunday, August 25. Signups remain open at $60 per person and $320 per four-man team.

“I think last year we had 16 teams,” said Commander Greg Wagg of the Legion’s biggest fundraiser event.

“I’ve been told by (owner) Parker Barth that It’s one of the best tournaments at Alta Lake all year,” Wagg added.

“We put American flags for the designated T-bars that each golfer has to hit between before playing each hole,” Wagg said of the patriotic-themed course.

Plenty of prizes will be awarded, including closest-to-cup on every oar three, longest drive, longest marshmallow drive, and more. Enough sponsors have come forward that they are sharing holes with their business signs this year.

 “We do a good job,” said Wagg, “Plus, we have lunch, this year pulled pork sandwiches, beans, potato salad, chips, and pasta. And we haven’t raised our price in three years.”

For more information or to sign up, call 509-923-2359.
