A charitable golf tournament organized by the Sarnia Sting, in support of Pathways Health Centre for Children, will return in the fall following a two-year hiatus.
The local hockey club will host its fifth annual tournament at Huron Oaks Golf Course on September 3.
The annual event has not been held over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We're definitely excited to have it back and [we're] looking forward to seeing a lot of our fans and current players out at the tournament," said Sting Assistant General Manager Mark Glavin.
There are a couple of format changes this year, including designated tee times. Sting players will also be situated throughout the golf course at assigned holes and will participate with each group as they make their way through 18 holes.
"It's actually a really cool way for the players that are playing in the tournament to get to see every Sting player that's there, not just play with one player," said Glavin.
Those interested can register through Pathways' website. It costs $700 per foursome ($175 each) to play the full 18 with a cart, and includes a $30 food and drink voucher, and the opportunity to spend some time with current Sting players ahead of the new season.
Spots are expected to fill up fast.
"We are very fortunate this year to have a major sponsor for the first year with the tournament, GFL Environmental has come on board, and that certainly is giving the tournament a nice starting point," said Glavin. "We're just looking to raise as much money as possible for Pathways."
Over the years, the Sting organization has donated over $15,000 to Pathways through this event.
