Golf tournament to benefit local ‘Shop with a Hero’ program today

A golf tournament to benefit the local Shop with a Hero program – which gives Christmas gifts to children in need – will occur today (June 22)

The event will be at the Houston Municipal Golf Course as a two-person scramble with two flights. Tee times are 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., with registration 30 minutes prior.

The cost is $120 per team, which includes lunch and entry into two contests: closest to pin and longest putt. Two mulligans per team can be purchased for $10 each. Each flight will have a first and second place prize.

Businesses and individuals are encouraged to sponsor the tournament. Sponsorships include: Gold, $500; Silver, $350; and Hole, $100.

Organized by the Houston Lions Club, the annual event pairs children with representatives of fire departments, EMS, first responders, law enforcement and others for a shopping trip.

“Every $100 raised from this golf tournament will help pay for one child’s Christmas gifts at our annual Shop with a Hero event, which will be held in December,” said Kenny Reynolds, Texas County Sheriff’s Department sergeant
