Leonardtown, MD โ€“ As summer winds down and cooler weather begins to set in, youโ€™re your plans to take part in the 21st Annual Scott Verbic Memorial Golf Tournament. This yearโ€™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 tournamentโ€™s 20 year history, more than $123,000 has been raised. Proceeds support the youth scholarship program which provides children, living in St. Maryโ€™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. Maryโ€™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 yourย  business.
