Cactus Tour Players team up with Local Shriners again

The young ladies from The Cactus Tour have teamed up again with the Sandbaggers Golf Club from the El Zaribah Shriners for the 18th annual Shriners Golf Classic Pro Am tournament on April 11, 2015 at the Legacy Golf Resort. This will be the third year for the Pro Am that has sold out each year. 

The Cactus Tour was created for professional women golfers as a place to play outside the LPGA and the Futures Tour and has evolved into not only a venue to improve their game, but as a place to prepare for events during the off time for amateur and professional golfers. 

The El Zaribah Shriners have been a mainstay of the Phoenix community since 1896 and preside over all Shriners in Arizona from Interstate 8, North to the border, as well as all Shriners in Sonora, Mexico. Aside from wearing those “funny red hats”, participating in many parades and holding the annual Shrine Circus, Shriners are also known for fully supporting 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children throughout North America. 

The proceeds from the Shriners Golf Classic will help with the upkeep of their local headquarters building. As Executive Director of the Tournament, Tom Calvin says, “It’s simple, if we don’t have a building, we can’t take care of the kids”.

This weekend that is “all about fun and for a good cause” kicks off Friday evening, April 10th with a pre-tournament party aptly named the Bash Before The Clash. It is open to the public and includes food, raffles and auctions. Also open to the public, men and women alike, Saturday morning, April 11th starts the Pro Am with 3 amateurs and one Cactus Tour Pro per team. This is a Scramble tournament that again, is all about fun. An Awards Luncheon follows golf at the Legacy.

A $125.00 registration fee includes entry to Bash Before The Clash, Golf, Cart, Range Balls, Beer On The Course, and Awards Luncheon.
