The event will benefit individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism. The scramble-format tournament will begin at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start. Lunch will be served at approximately 1 p.m.

Participants may register individually or in groups of four. The fee includes a green fee, golf cart use, a continental breakfast, unlimited snacks and drinks on the course and a catered lunch. Additional items, including mulligans and other tricks, as well as tickets for giveaway drawing prizes, will be available for purchase in advance at http://www.friendshipcommunity.net/golf or on the day of the event.

This year will also include the fourth annual golf ball drop sponsored by Blue Ridge Communications. Tickets for numbered golf balls will be sold, with a fee per individual golf ball or a discount on a bundle of six golf balls. The numbered golf balls will be dropped from approximately 15 feet in the air onto the green of the 18th hole. The golf ball that lands and stays in the hole win will win a cash prize. If multiple balls land and stay in the hole, the cash prize will be split. If no golf ball lands and stays in the hole, the ball closest to the hole will win - or split, if there is a tie - a consolation cash prize.

Sponsorships are available. Volunteer service, in-kind donations and monetary donations are also being accepted.
