Calling all golfing families! Bring your junior golfer out for a Sunday afternoon you won't forget.

Parent/Junior 9-Hole Tournament is happening Sunday, July 26 at MacDonald Golf Course. Tee off at 2pm in a fun 2-person alternate shot format, just $30 per person.

Juniors 17 and under team up with a parent for 9 holes of alternate shot, and here's the fun part: parents are limited to just three clubs. That's right, those summer lessons your junior has been working on? Time to show mom or dad how it's done.
