It’s time to dust off those clubs, polish up the spikes, and take a few practice swings to prepare for the 22 nd Annual St. Michael Golf Tournament, set for June 26 and 27 at Cottonwood Greens Golf Course and Country Club in Spalding.

Regular golfers and duffers alike among our Families in Faith community are welcome to come out for the two-person scramble that brings us all together for fun and fellowship.

The tournament is run as a two-person scramble with shotgun starts at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 26, and then 9 a.m. Sunday, June 27. Anyone aged 21 and over may play.

Scott Glaser is chairing the tournament, with assistance from Mitchell Glesinger. Their fathers founded the tournament over 20 years ago, and now the two sons are taking the reins to keep this favorite tradition going.

“It’s a day in which golfers from all three of our parishes are able to get together and relax,” Mitchell says. “It’s always a good time. I’ve been golfing each year for over 10 years, myself. My dad and Scott’s dad started it, so there’s a lot of history for us. It’s one of those things that everybody knows about, that it’s the same weekend. For a lot of people, it’s the only time they golf all year.”

The fee for the tournament is $120 per team of two. This provides 18 holes of golf, and either lunch or dinner, depending on which day the team plays. The tournament typically draws between 100 to 120 people each year. Sponsorships will be open for tee boxes and greens. In addition to a fun day of play on the links, the Golf Tournament is a great way to get to know your fellow parishioners while also providing essential support to St. Michael’s Parish.

“It’s just an event the people can come out for a good cause, have a good time, and do what we do to help keep this rolling in our little community,” Mitchell says.

Golf tournament registration begins in early May. Anyone who is interested in signing up or serving as a sponsor may call Scott Glaser at 308-370-1416. Those interested in signing up to play in the tournament may also do so by visiting the Cottonwood Greens clubhouse.
