Come out and enjoy a day of golf at the annual James Nelson Memorial Golf Tournament to be held Saturday, Oct. 8, at Sun Valley’s Trail Creek Golf Course with proceeds benefiting Wood River Baseball Association (WRBA).
“There are many reasons to enjoy a game of golf, especially when it benefits local kids’ youth programs. Wood River Baseball is more than just the sport, it teaches the players about being part of a team, building character and the love for America’s favorite pastime,” said Dustin Stone, board member of WRBA.
Prices are $160 for adults and $80 for youth with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Teams of four will compete in a scramble format. Total cost for an adult team is $640, and $320 for youths 15 and under. There are incentives this year for registering by Oct. 1, with rewards to be announced. Day-of entries will also be welcome.
This event is open to the public. This tournament is the primary fundraiser for WRBA and brings in at least $10,000 for the program. There will also be a raffle and silent auction. Sun Valley Company has donated a 15-day pass for this year’s event, as well as many other items from family portrait sessions, gift baskets, and family passes to local attractions such as Miracle Hot Springs in Hagerman.
