Event Calendar

Amarillo, TX — Ascension Academy will host its first ever golf tournament fundraiser on Friday, May 16th at Comanche Trail Golf Course. Check-in and walk-up registration begins at 12pm with a 1pm tee time, followed by a fajita dinner provided to all golfers.

Participants can expect a competitive and light-hearted round of 4-person scramble-style golf, with the option to purchase mulligans, raffle tickets for various prizes, and a 50/50 cash raffle. There will also be an opportunity to have a Varsity-level golfer take the first drive for your team without it counting toward your score.

Beer for all teams is sponsored by SSGMAT, and tee box sponsors are Plains Builders and Anytime Mortgage. There are currently 13 tee boxes unsponsored at this time, and they are $50 each with a deadline of May 11.

Individuals or teams can register up until the last minute using this link: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/2gtournamen/event/golf25/
