Swing ‘Fore’ golf tournament set

For the 5th year running, the Canton Rotary Club will host the "Swing Fore Education" Golf Tournament partnering with the Canton Educational Foundation. The four-person scramble will tee off at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14 after a catered by Jalapeno Tree at noon at Twin Lakes Golf Course.

Last year's tournament raised over $33,000 for education in Canton, with funds awarded by CEF via grants to educators at all four CISD campuses and scholarships to five graduating seniors selected via an essay contest. Additionally, 18 scholarships were awarded to graduating students from CRC. This year 112 players are expected to compete for prizes including a Hole in One prize of a 2017 Ford Focus provided by All Star Ford, and multiple other prizes.

First, second and third place team members will receive footballs autographed by Dallas Cowboys current stars and former All-Stars.

Players will also receive gift bags with custom RTIC insulated tumblers. For information on sponsorship or playing in the tournament, contact Mindi Holland at mindiholland@allstate.com; Phyllis Wise at Phyllis.Wise@LegacyACA.com or Melynda Greet at mgreen@cantoneducationalfoundation.com
