Arkansas City Presbyterian Manor’s annual golf tournament “Golfin’ for Good Sam” returns in May, continuing a long-standing event that benefits a program for seniors in need.
This year’s event is set for Saturday, May 4 at Ark City Golf and Fitness, 8731 US-166 in Arkansas City. Registration begins at 7:30 through 9 a.m., tee-off is at 9:30 a.m. The golf tournament’s name is a reference to the tournament’s support of PMMA’s Good Samaritan Program, which provides financial support for local Presbyterian Manor seniors who have outlived their financial resources at no fault of their own.
One of the tournament’s traditions is the Karl & Dorothy Faidley Golf Ball Drop who were big supporters of the community and the tournament. Numbered golf balls, available for purchase, will be dropped from a bucket truck above, with the three balls landing closest to the stake winning a prize. You do not have to be a golfer to participate in this event or be present to win.
The golf ball drop is scheduled for 9:15 a.m.
“We are excited to continue our tournament and ball drop traditions this year,” said Gini Myers, Executive Director. “We are so thankful for the support of our local community and can’t wait to see you there.”
The tournament is a four-player scramble with a $100 registration fee per player which includes green fees, cart, and lunch. To register or purchase drop ball tickets visit arkansascitypresbyterianmanor.org.
The Good Samaritan Program provides funding to assist residents who outlive their financial resources through no fault of their own.
