The tournament begins at 1 p.m. Aug. 24 at Tri-Mountain Golf Course, 1701 N.W. 299th St. The tournament will feature a four-person scramble format. The cost is $300 for a foursome and $75 for singles. The cost includes green fees, carts, dinner and prizes. Hole sponsorships are also available for $125.
