PUKALANI — The Rotary Club of Upcountry Maui and title sponsor American Savings Bank will host Rotary Helping Women, the club’s seventh annual golf tournament fundraiser, on Saturday, Sept. 10, at Pukalani Country Club.

Proceeds from the golf tournament will support Women Helping Women (WHW), which offers emergency shelter and programs for victims of domestic violence; and The Maui Farm, which provides safe transitional housing and farm-based, family-centered programs. The tournament format is an 18-hole, four-person, shotgun start, best-ball scramble. The fee for a single entry is $125. A two-player team pays $250.

The price of entry includes the green fee, the shared cart fee, a “swag bag,” a continental breakfast package, a hot bento box lunch, snacks, water, soda, a door prize drawing ticket and an awards presentation.

Players may purchase Mulligan tickets (an extra stroke allowed after a poor shot, not counted on the scorecard) for $5 a piece (limit two per player). Golfers can also purchase Grenades, which will allow them to throw the ball, for $10 each (limit one per player). For an opportunity to move to a closer tee, purchase a Change the Tee ticket for $10 (limit one per player). Sit back and watch Golf Pro Dillon Jonke drive your ball with a purchase of a Drive by Pro ticket at $10 (limit one per player). A super ticket gets you two Mulligans, one Grenade, one Drive by Pro and one Change the Tee ticket for $35 — a $5 savings.

The top three teams will be entered into a prize drawing. “The grand prize includes dinner for four at one of Maui’s best restaurants and a round of golf for four at one of the island’s pristine courses,” said event Chair Mary Albitz.

Golfers will also vie for a $10,000 cash prize for the hole-in-one contest sponsored by Maui Oral Surgery. The tournament will also include a longest-drive contest, with prizes for both the men’s and women’s divisions. A prize will also go to the winner of the closest-to-the-pin contest. Even the highest scoring team comes away with a prize!

For those who want to support the club’s efforts but do not golf, ball drop tickets are five for $20 (tickets are sold in bundles of five only). The “owner” of the ball closest to the hole wins $1,000; second prize, $500; third prize, $250. There is also a $25 prize for the furthest from the hole. Participants need not be present to win.

Check-in and breakfast begin at 6 a.m. The tournament’s shotgun start begins promptly at 7 a.m. Lunch, the awards ceremony, door prize drawings and ball drop will immediately follow the tournament. Tee Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Monetary and prize donations are also welcome.

Tournament sponsors also include Emerald Sponsor Island Sotheby’s International Realty, and Forest Green Sponsors Mahi Pono and Ridge to Reef Environmental.
