The athletic departments of Iola Middle School and Iola High School will reap the rewards of a golf tournament this Saturday morning at the Allen County Country Club.
“It’s the first time we’ve tried such an endeavor,” said Jason Coke, IMS assistant principal and athletic director, who, with Matt Baumwart, IHS assistant principal and athletic director, is organizing the four-person scramble.
With cooler temperatures predicted, the 8 a.m. tee time should be ideal.
“There’s room for one to two more teams,” Coke said this morning of the 16-team event.
Those interested should contact L.C. Lacy at the Allen Country Club, 365-2682, or Coke at [email protected] or Baumwart at [email protected].
Cost is $260 per team or $65 individually. Lunch is included.
Contests include a par 3 challenge, longest drive, closest to the pin and more. The top three teams will also receive prizes.
Coke said all proceeds from the day will be split between the two schools’ athletic departments.
About 20 local businesses are sponsoring the event.
