April 22, 2022 - The Center Lions Club Golf Tournament held Monday, April 11 at the Center Country Club had 8 teams competing and helping to raising money for the community.
The event is all about having fun. We have some unusual holes. There is one hole that you hit the ball out of a swimming pool. One hole called the Flamingo where you hit your first shot standing on one leg. Another hole where your first shot is with a giant sling shot. We also throw in several other gimmicks. Coming in first is not always best, prizes are given for 2nd, 4th and last place.
Winners / Losers were 1st place team Farm Bureau; 2nd place team Shelby Savings Bank 2; 4th place team Steel Building Supply; and 8th place team Farmers State Bank.
We have a great time and the Center Noon Lions are extremely thankful for our corporate sponsors; Farmers State Bank, High Roller Group, Shelby Savings Bank, and Tyson. This event could not happen without their support and the support of the many hole sponsors and golfers who participate. There are many others to thank, but too numerous to mention here.
All the money our club raises goes back into our local community with the exception of the barbecued/grilled chicken luncheon which is coming up on May 12th. All proceeds from that event will go towards the Texas Lions Camp, in Kerrville, Texas, if you are ever passing through, stop in and check it out. It is an amazing place. Thank you for the generosity of Shelby County folks and may God bless you all.
