AREA BRIEFS: CANCER GOLF TOURNAMENT

The American Cancer Society will host the first annual Capaha Bank and Outback Steakhouse Golf Shamble Aug. 16 at Bent Creek Golf Course.

This tournament will be a four-person best ball with a twist. The first shot on each hole will be a scramble; after that, each person plays their own ball in and a group's lowest individual score for a hole is recorded as the team's score (maximum score per hole is triple bogey).

Registration starts at 11 a.m., with a noon lunch provided by Outback Steakhouse and then a 1 p.m. shotgun start. Cost is $85 and all proceeds will go to benefit the American Cancer Society. Prizes will be awarded in three flights for the top three places.
