Epworth UMC Fundraiser Tournament Oct. 1
The George Simpson Men’s Group of Epworth United Methodist Church is holding its fourth annual golf outing Drive Away Hunger Saturday, Oct. 1, at the American Classic Golf Club on Postal Lane in Midway.
The event supports three local programs that feed the hungry in the Cape Region: The Epworth Food and Love Soup Kitchen, The Good Samaritan Emergency Food Program at Epworth and the Immanuel Shelter. Their combined efforts in 2015 provided thousands of meals, household goods and personal hygiene items, and shelter for homeless individuals over the winter season.
Registration begins at 9 a.m., with play starting at 9:30 a.m. The $50 fee for walking ($60 for riding) includes nine holes of golf, lunch and prizes.

DSGA Scholarship Fund Tourney
This year’s Delaware State Golf Association Scholarship Fund Tournament will take place Monday, Oct. 3, at Rehoboth Beach Country Club.
This is the major source of funds for a very successful scholarship program, awarding three or four deserving high school seniors with grade-dependent four-year stipends. A committee selects scholarship candidates based on applications demonstrating academic excellence, community spirit and a connection to golf.
The tournament format is best one ball of four, net. Players without USGA handicaps will have their handicaps determined using a modified Callaway scoring system.
The day starts with lunch at 11:30 a.m., with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. The entry fee of $160 for singles and $600 for a foursome includes the lunch, a cocktail hour with hors d’oueuvres, tournament prizes and a silent auction following play.
