The "World's Largest Golf Outing" — now in its eighth year as a nationwide fundraiser — will tee off at more than 100 courses on Monday, August 6, and registration is open for tee times at Pine Ridge Golf Club in Coram, Long Island's lone event host. The annual tournament is held at Billy Casper Golf properties around the country and raises money for military-related charities.
Entry fee is $55 per player, with $10 from each registration plus all additional donations going to the Fisher House Foundation. The fee covers cart, range balls, lunch, an awards reception and some golf parting gifts. Format for the tournament is four-person scramble.
Tee time at Pine Ridge is 1 p.m. Register for the event by visiting the World's Largest Golf Outing website, where you can also sponsor a team or make an online donation.
Since its initial event in 2011, Billy Casper Golf has raised nearly $4 million for various military charities, including the Wounded Warrior Project, through the WLGO. The Fisher House Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides comfort homes for military and veteran family members at no cost while their loved ones receive medical treatment.
