Thunder Canyon hosting Tee It Up for the Troops day

The Men's Club at Thunder Canyon will host a Tee It Up for the Troops day of golf Sept. 10.

Any active duty or retired military are invited for a day of fun and golf. The event begins at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start. The event costs $55 per person, which includes a continental breakfast and lunch.

After the tournament, tee times will be open at 2 p.m. to any active duty or retired military and their guests.

Tee It Up For The Troops is a charitable organization led by a core of dedicated veterans and volunteers. The mission is to honor, respect and remember the service of those who have given so freely to protect our great nation, a spokesperson said.

Tee It Up For The Troops, Inc. was created in 2005 to help support the fallen and disabled members of the Armed Forces, and their families. The National Day of Golf was subsequently formed and has since produced numerous golf outings throughout the country.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Tee it Up for the Troops organization.
