AREA GOLF ROUNDUP

The Tryon Country Club has a busy upcoming schedule with the 125th Tryon Birthday Celebration Tournament heading the list.

The birthday tournament is set for Sept. 3 and will feature nine-hole and 18-hole events. The nine-hole tournament begins with a 9 a.m. shotgun start and the 18-hole event starts at 1 p.m. Both are four-person team Captains Choice formats. Gross and net prizes will be awarded.

First Citizens Bank is the presenting sponsor of the event. A minimum of $750 will be donated to Patriot Golf Day and the Wounded Warriors Fund, which provides scholarships to the children and spouses of U.S. service men and women killed or wounded in the line of duty.

Also on the calendar is the Fruits of Labor tournament at 9 a.m. on Labor Day, Sept. 6. Each player in the alternate-shot format event brings a prize that is the fruit of his or her labor.
