LCBA EVENTS

Annual Golf Tournament

Please save the date for this year’s Annual LCBA Golf Tournament. It will be June 12th, 2020. Expect this tournament to kick off the golf season with a lot of laughs. We will be having several games and prizes. This year’s golf tournament has a theme…the Decades. Your team is encouraged to dress up as your favorite decade to be entered to win other prizes. This year will be a scramble. One ball per team, every player must hit. 10% of all proceeds will be given to the high school golf team to get them matching polos (as currently they do not have any Plainsmen uniforms). More details to follow in the Ebuzz and Facebook.
