 WRLA Terry Yates Memorial Golf TournamentTuesday, August 19, 2014,

Moving this tournament to the third Tuesday in August has doubled the odds of getting good weather. It also has increased the odds of getting hot weather. No matter what the weather, plan to attend this popular industry get-together. Bring a team, bring yourself, have someone bring you. There will be a shot-gun start at 11:00 a.m. and dinner buffet after play.
All proceeds of the tournament directed to the WRLA Bursary and Scholarship Fund. Click on the below link to register OR if you have been registered, to see tournament details.
