The 26th Craig Swanson Memorial Golf Tournament will be held Saturday, Aug. 12 at Cable Hollow Golf Club in Russell, Pennsylvania.

The playing format is a four-person, team scramble. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Craig “Swanny” Swanson Memorial Scholarship Fund that annually awards scholarships to Frewsburg Central School seniors and Frewsburg Central School alumni in college who most exemplify the qualities Craig Swanson possessed. Since its inception in 1992, this tournament has raised $75,134 for the scholarship fund.

The event features a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. with an “after-golf” picnic beginning around 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion, Samuel Derby Post 556, 9 Meadow Lane in Frewsburg. The picnic features cook-your-own steaks, baked potato, salad, fresh steamed corn, homemade desserts, beer, wine and soft drinks.

Cost for the tournament is $70 which includes; golf, half-cart, hot dogs at the turn, dinner, prizes and a donation to the scholarship fund. A reduced golf price of $45.00 is available for Cable Hollow Golf Club members. A $25 package is also available for non-golfers which includes dinner, beverages and donation. All dinners for golfers and guests must be prepaid before the tournament.

The tournament committee is seeking “hole sponsorships” from businesses and individuals at $75 per hole to help support the tournament. Anyone seeking further information about the tournament, or any business or organization interested in a hole sponsorship or offering a prize donation should contact Steve Centi at 499-4929 or via email at serge-53@hotmail.com.
