Kiwanis Club of Aiken to hold annual charity golf tournament May 11
Apr. 20—The Kiwanis Club of Aiken will hold its annual charity golf tournament Saturday, May 11, at Aiken Golf Club.
The tournament, presented by Singer Wealth Management Group, will begin at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start. The entry fee is $125 per person or $500 per foursome, and includes cart, greens fee, two mulligans per player, gift bag, on-course beverages, breakfast and lunch. The format is four-person captain's choice, and prizes will be awarded in gross and net divisions.
