A $60 fee per golfer covers a cart, green fees, snacks, beverages and lunch, said Tom O’Hagan, council president for the local Catholic men’s organization.
Sixteen foursomes had pre-registered by Wednesday afternoon, and others are welcome to register before tee time on Saturday, said O’Hagan.
The scramble is open to men and women. Prizes will include $400, first place; $300, second; $200, third; and $100, fourth. A hole-in-one at the 16th is good for a $500 prize.
Western Hills is at 2160 Russellville Road.
