Registration Still Open for Next Week’s Friends Golf Tournament
The ninth annual Friends of San Clemente golf tournament is Friday, June 28 at the San Clemente Municipal Golf Course.
Funds raised by the golfer’s entry fees, opportunity drawing and auction will contribute to two of the city’s youth programs: swimming and recreational scholarships for underprivileged children and the Fun-on-the-Run children’s mobile education.
Entry fees are $500 for foursomes and $150 for individuals. The cost includes food, carts, beer and drinks on the course, followed by dinner and wine at the awards presentation. Rainbow Sandals will also donate a pair of sandals to every participant.
