Athena League to host Apple Annie golf tourney

The Athena League will sponsor its annual Apple Annie Charity Golf Tournament Sept. 18 at Canebrake Golf Club.

Registration begins at noon with a shotgun start for the four-person scramble at 1 p.m.

Proceeds from the event go to Hospice of Limestone County and the Athens-Limestone Hospital Foundation. The Athena League also donates 5 percent of proceeds to the Athena League Scholarship Fund.

The entry fee is $500 per team or $125 per player. The fee includes a ticket to a charity party, dinner, on-course beverages and door prizes.

In conjunction with the tournament, Alabama Watersports will hold a putting contest with $10,000 in prizes.

In addition, players will have a chance to win a Traeger Grill from West End Market and a $1,000 gift certificate from Osborne Jewelers, as well as cash prizes in each of two flights. Skill prizes are given to those who get closest to the pin on par 3 holes.

The Athena League has been raising funds to benefit non-profit organizations representing women and children in the Limestone County area since 1972.
