Golfing for a cause

A golf tournament to raise money for the community playground at Birchwood Presbyterian Church will be held Saturday, June 5, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Raspberry Ridge Golf Course.

Jen Zimmerman, a leader of the playground project, said the church has not yet received a response from the presbytery about covering the remaining costs, so there is still about $7,000 left to be raised.

The cost to sign up for the tournament is $30, with $12 for an optional cart. A sheet with tee times is located in the church foyer where participants can sign up individually or as a team.

For those who want to give the tournament a shot but feel they lack experience, don’t worry. The tournament will be open to all skill levels and consist of nine holes.

Zimmerman said despite incomplete funding, a construction fence is being put up this weekend and the parking lot will start to be torn up next week, so the plan is moving forward.
