Chamber to debut golf tourney

Boulder City Chamber of Commerce will present its first Best Dam Golf Game on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Boulder Creek Golf Club, 1501 Veterans Memorial Drive.

The tournament will begin at 7 a.m. with registration. A shotgun start is scheduled for 8 a.m. It includes a round of play, breakfast and the awards luncheon.

Entry is $125 per person or $450 for a foursome. Extra luncheon tickets can be purchased for $30.

The tournament is a fundraiser for the chamber of commerce. According to Jill Rowland-Lagan, CEO of the chamber, each year’s chairman picks a project. Sam Knudsen, this year’s chairman, brought the tournament to the group because it’s her area of expertise.

Rowland-Lagan said money raised at the tournament is earmarked for special and promotional events that help bring people to town such as Santa’s Electric Night Parade.
