The eighth annual golf tournament hosted by the Hempfield girls' and boys' basketball booster clubs will be held at Four Seasons Golf Club, 949 Church St., Landisville, on Friday, Aug. 6. Check-in for this rain-or-shine event will open at 11 a.m., and play will begin with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. Registration is requested by Saturday, July 31, but same-day registration will be available.

A cost per golfer has been set and includes a picnic-style lunch, use of a golf cart, a hole-in-one opportunity, beverages, a door prize, and a goodie bag. Team, contest hole, and giveaway winners will be notified and given their awards following the round.

The proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Hempfield School District's girls' and boys' basketball programs. The booster clubs' members are athletes' parents and other people who are interested in supporting, improving, and assisting the district's basketball programs, said parent volunteer Daren Moffatt. The groups' sphere of influence covers all grades from elementary to high school. Their primary function is fundraising and volunteering to support the programs and to promote school spirit through athletics. As examples of what expenses the booster clubs cover for all players in the programs, Moffatt listed league and tournament fees, video equipment, apparel, sneakers, team equipment, team-building activities, strength and conditioning activities, and team recognition events.

"This year, it looks like we will get back to normal now that several COVID restrictions have been lifted," stated Moffatt. "It will be a fun day and a great opportunity for golfers to support the Hempfield basketball teams."

The golf tournament is the primary source of funding for the booster clubs. Sponsorship opportunities for the golf tournament are available.
