Leonardtown, MD – As summer winds down and cooler weather begins to set in, you’re your plans to take part in the 21st Annual Scott Verbic Memorial Golf Tournament. This year’s event is set to tee off on Friday October 7, 2016 at the Wicomico Shores Golf Course. This tournament is held annually in memory of Scott Verbic, who was a Recreation Advisory Board Member, Volunteer Coach, and advocate for youth in the community.

In the tournament’s 20 year history, more than $123,000 has been raised. Proceeds support the youth scholarship program which provides children, living in St. Mary’s County, a chance to attend summer camp, sports and other leisure programs throughout the year at a discount.

Space still remains for team entries. Team registration fee is $340 and includes greens/carts fee for 4 golfers, breakfast, lunch, drinks on the course, and door prize entry. Individual registrations will be accepted beginning September 14 at $85 per golfer. The event includes a best ball format, with opportunities to participate in various raffles, closest to the pin, longest drive and other contests. Join us for a day of fun, sportsmanship and giving youth a chance to experience recreation!

The St. Mary’s County Department of Recreation & Parks is also looking for tee sponsors and prize donations for the event. Businesses can reserve an exclusive tee box sign or a shared tee box sign or sponsor specific tournament activities. Door prize sponsorships can include gift certificates or donated items. In addition to supporting a good cause, event sponsorship is also a great way to promote your  business.
