Monitor Staff Reports
CEDAR CREEK LAKE–Registration is continuing for the Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual summer golf tournament.
Aptly named The Red Hot “18,” it’s scheduled for Monday, July 26, at the Cedar Creek Country Club.
Check-in starts at 7:45 a.m., followed by an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.
Tournament co-chairs, Tim Lilly/State Farm Insurance and Robbye Grissom, are planning to have the same popular event as in recent years, with around 100 players expected.
“This is a fund-raiser for the chamber, and we encourage anyone of any skill level to come out and join the fun,” Grissom said.
The tournament is a four-person scramble with gross/net prizes, games, contests and Mulligans, with a Hole-in-One Contest sponsored by Tri-County Ford.
Entry fee is $70 for individual players or $280 per team, which includes golf, cart, goody bags, lunch and team pictures. There will be door prizes as well.
In keeping with the tournament date and the median temperature at Cedar Creek Lake in summer, the descriptive name of Red Hot “18” Golf Tournament is definitely appropriate, but the tournament has become a highly anticipated chamber event.
The popular chamber of commerce fund raiser always proves to be a success, offering good advertising for sponsors, fun and networking for the players.
Besides Tri-County Ford, other sponsors at press time include cash underwriters Southside Bank, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman and Bob’s Collision.
Sponsors also include Don R. Kinney CPA, Trinity Valley Electric Co-op, First State Bank Athens/GBC Branch, Prosperity Bank Seven Points and GBC, TexasAbility and Dr. John Loar, DDS.
