It’s time to “tee it up” at the 12th Annual Ron Pruitt Memorial Golf Tournament at beautiful Barton Creek Country Club in Lakeside.

The tournament – set Monday, May 12 – benefits the Spicewood and Pedernales EMS and Volunteer Fire Departments and honors the memory of Ron Pruitt, a Lakeside member and EMS Committee chair. Pruitt died in 1996 in a Spicewood car accident.

Golf begins with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start, scramble format. Prizes include an EZ-GO golf cart for the first hole-in-one on #8, courtesy of Kingsland Depot; and a new Lincoln MKZ for the first hole-in-one on #17, courtesy of Johnson-Sewell Ford-Lincoln-Mercury in Marble Falls.

Cost is $135 for golf, dinner, beverages and prizes; $25 for non-golfers to enjoy dinner and beer. $100 is tax-deductible.

Donations are welcome from those who can’t play or attend, but wish to support the local volunteer fire departments.

Each player will enjoy one “mulligan” – a free stroke – per round. Since 1996, this tournament has donated more than $110,000 to the two departments.

To enter, send check payable to BCLS EMS Fund, c/o Byron Zinn, 120 Hidden Springs Court, Spicewood, Texas, 78669. Entries are limited to the first 100 players.

Lakeside EMS Committee members are Bob Dilley, chairman; Jim Hunt, Maurice Kirkpatrick, Gayle Stewart and Byron Zinn.
