Golf tournament to benefit Ramona High School soccer programs

The Ramona High School girls and boys soccer teams will be hosting their second annual golf tournament on Saturday, Jan. 25, to raise funds for their soccer program, and invite the community to participate.

Proceeds from the tournament will be used to pay for uniforms, equipment, tournament fees and other program expenses.

To be held at San Vicente Golf Resort, 24157 San Vicente Road, the tournament will kick off with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. Check-in will begin at 6:30 a.m. The fee for an individual golfer is $105, and for a registered foursome, $380.

Registration includes entry, golf cart, range balls, golfer goodie bag, lunch, one opportunity drawing ticket, T-shirt if registered by Jan. 15, and hors d’oeuvres during awards.

Purchases of mulligans (do-overs) and grenades (pick up and throw it), opportunity drawing tickets and silent auction items will also be available.

Awards will be given to first- and second-place teams, and winners of the putting contest, longest drive, and closest to the pin.

The first Hole in One golfer will receive a two-carat diamond bracelet, valued at $2,495, donated by Jewelry World.

Tournament organizers are looking for event and tee sponsorships, opportunity drawing items, silent auction donations, golfer’s goodie bag contributions, and golfers.

For registration and sponsorship information, visit www.ramonausd.net/rhs. Sponsors will need to be finalized by Jan. 17.

Donation items can be picked up by contacting Julie Njaa at julie_njaa@cox.net, or mailed to Ramona High School, 1401 Hanson Lane, Ramona, CA 92065, ATTN: Justin Jordan/Soccer.

The support by the business community and Ramona citizens is an important ingredient to the success of the students’ athletic program, said tournament organizers.
