Forget about dribbling, and three pointers on TV, all you ex and current athlete wannabees have a chance to participate. Our final four of the golfing season are designed to help the Tacoma-Pierce County community and those who either want to share their skills in three excellent local courses and one madcap evening and for those who just like to carry a club and have fun!
Final Four #1
Each year the HiJinks Golf Tournament at North Shore is a lot of fun and hot competition. The money raised by the Transportation Club of Tacoma from the tournament funds their high school senior scholarship program. I’ve been a member for years and love the tournament. North Shore is always a great course to play on.

Final Four #4 – Tacoma South Rotary’s Great Indoor Golf Tournament – October 22nd at Harkness Furniture
Tacoma South Rotary is made up of about 20-25 members some businesses and some non-profits. They’ve had the indoor putt putt at Harkness furniture for 25 years. They set up 18 holes of putt putt golf and have them decorated. Most feature charity partners who man them. There is a live band and a bar as well as a hosted and catered buffet dinner. A silent auction occurs during the evening. Over the course of 25 years they have raised in excess of $1 million almost all of which has gone right back into the local community, the rest into scholarships and international programs. Not bad for a group of 25 Rotarians. The cost is $75 per person which includes dinner and a beverage as well as mulligans to help you buy down your score. It’s really a fun event and the major fundraiser for Tacoma South Rotary.
Friday, October 22nd
Sign in – 5:00 p.m.
Dinner at 6:00 p.m. followed by golf and fun!

I’m going to enter at least two of these events, but have donated to each one. For each tournament I have given three beautifully framed sports figure autographs like David Kreig and Steve Largent to Ken Griffy, Jr and the “Beast Mode” himself.
Help our community and enjoy a fun golfing event or just attend all of them . . . it’s the final four!
