WCC Golf Tournament
set for May 24

By Paul de la Peña-Franceschi

The Women's City Club will host its second annual Memorial Day Golf Tournament Saturday, May 24, at the Laredo Country Club. The theme of this year's tournament is a red, white, and blue salute to Uncle Sam. The tournament will also serve as a tribute to the late Juvencio de Anda. The Women's City Club will change the name of the tournament next year to the Juvencio de Anda Memorial Day Invitational Golf tournament, according to event organizers.
Tee time is set for 8:30 a.m. with a limited field of 120 players. The format is a two-person Florida scramble with prizes and trophies being awarded to all five flights. Golf entries will be accepted on a first-pay, first-play basis.
There will be many ways to win prizes, along with trophies for each winner. The first place team will receive a $400 gift certificate, the second place team will receive a $200 gift certificate and the third place team will receive a $100 gift certificate. There will also be contests at every hole with prizes being awarded to the winners.
Entrants can also try their luck in acing a par 3 and winning either a stainless steel Rolex, compliments of Deutsch & Deutsch Jewelers; a 2003 Ford F-150 four-door Supercrew compliments of Sames Motor Co.; $10,000 cash compliments of GEO Mortgage; or a 2003 Buick Rendezvous compliments of Powell Watson Motors Co.
The entry fee of $175 includes a chuckwagon-style lunch, beverage tickets, a goodie bag containing a golf shirt, towel, cap, golf balls, and chances to win raffle prizes.
The Women's City Club is a non-profit organization that raises money throughout the year to help the less fortunate in the community. This benefit tournament is one such way they offer assistance to Laredoans.
