Meaford Golf and Country Club hosts Fourth Annual Combat Golf Tournament

This is one golf tournament that will definitely be a blast.

Next Friday, May 27, the Meaford Golf and Country Club will host the Fourth Annual Combat Golf Tournament. That doesn’t mean you attack the next foursome with your 3-wood or a well-targeted Titleist. The event is a fundraiser for the Military Family Resource Centre, a Meaford organization which offers services to the families of our soldiers stationed at the Land Forces Central Area Training Centre. The golf tournament kicks off at 8 a.m., and it’s followed by a military reception at “the base”, with a variety of military activities on display during the afternoon and evening. Enjoy dinner, a silent and live auction, and enter a draw for a ” Combat Golf Adventure” weekend trip to Kingston Military Base. There, you’ll “living the military life” for three days and two nights – a life that includes a day of golf and use of carts at the Garrison Golf and Country Club.

Registration is limited to 36 teams and there are still a few spaces available. Call the Military Family Resource Centre at 519-538-1371 ext. 6509 for more information.

The Meaford Golf and Country Club lies immediately south of the Meaford Haven property, and offers a challenging 18 holes in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.
