POCATELLO — Player registration and hole sponsorship opportunities are now open for the annual Pocatello Knights of Columbus Jim Robinson Memorial $10,000 Hole-in-One Charity Golf Tournament.
This year’s tournament will be held at Riverside Golf Course, 3500 Bannock Highway in Pocatello, on Sept. 8, with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. A dinner will follow the tournament. Each player will receive a new golf club. The tournament is a four-person scramble with a blind draw for teams. Cost to enter the tournament is $50, and greens fees and carts are extra. Call the Riverside Golf Course to reserve a cart.
There is a $10,000 prize for hitting a hole-in-one on No. 13, a 140-yard par 3. There will also be cash prizes for winning teams, longest drive and closest to the pin. There will also be raffles.
Local businesses who sponsor a hole will have a professionally made sign advertising their business displayed during the tournament. Businesses also can donate gifts for the raffle drawings or tee prizes.
All proceeds from the tournament are used by the Knights of Columbus, a local Catholic fraternal organization, to benefit local charities. In recent years, the Knights used proceeds from the tournament to help a local pediatric clinic to obtain a sport vision screener and a hearing screener. The Knights have also used proceeds from the tournament to help the Veterans Home, Special Olympics, C.W. H.O.G. and the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
To register for the tournament or to sponsor a hole or provide raffle prizes, contact Kerry Hennessy at 208-317-0222 or hennesk@hotmail.com, or Keith Riemersma at 208232-5714 or kjrextra@gmail.com.
