Royal Golf Association announces tournaments

ROYAL CITY — The Royal Golf Association has announced its tournament schedule. There aren’t as many events as in past years, but they are compelling.

All tournaments will be of the four-person scramble format. Excepting one, all tournaments will start at 9 a.m.

The Open House Tournament on May 14 will include a campaign for club memberships. New and renewed memberships will be on discount that day only. And there will be free snacks.

“It will be a four-person scramble to start the year off right,” Office Manager Athena Vetterick said.

The SummerFest Glowball Tournament, which drew great participation last year, is a nighttime event. It will start at 9 p.m. with players, motor carts and the course set aglow.

Dog Days of Summer will be held on August 27. It is a test of who can handle the summer’s high heat.

The season will close on Oct. 8 with the Big Cup Superintendent’s Revenge. Cups will be cut so big that no one can miss.

That’s if you navigate successfully the obstacles placed on the fairways and greens.
