Prior to the start of the tournament, a golf ball drop will be held at Cambrian Ridge.

“The golf ball drop is a great way for people who don’t play golf to support these organizations,” Mark Harold, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 39, said. “It’s a fun event and I’d encourage everyone to come out and get involved.”

For $10 a ball can be purchased. At 12:30 p.m. all the golf balls will be loaded into a Dale County Sheriff’s Department helicopter. The helicopter will fly over the driving range and release the balls. If a ball lands in the hole, the owner of that ball will receive $1,000. If there is a not a golf ball that lands in the hole, the owner of the golf ball closest to the pin will receive $500.

The winner does not have to be present to receive the prize.

Registration for the golf tournament begins at 11:30 a.m. A shotgun start is slated for 1 p.m.
