LAPOA CUP GOLF TOURNAMENT

Friday March 31, 2023

9 AM Tee Time

The Highlands Course

Join us for the First Annual Lake Arrowhead Property Owners Association Golf Tournament

At Lake Arrowhead the common areas and public amenities are maintained by Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club which collects Property Owner dues and other revenues to provide for maintenance, security, administration and the operations of Lake Arrowhead.

LAPOA, a non-profit, representing the interests of the property owners has no income source other than fund raisers (remember the Jim Bennett Christmas Ornaments?) to maintain our website and the expenses we incur in conjunction with our representative and advisory responsibilities.

This year’s major fundraiser is a Scramble Golf Tournament. If your New Year’s resolution included more exercise and personal interaction, we invite you to join your neighbors for a day of fun on the Highlands Course at Lake Arrowhead. No handicap needed to play. There will be prizes for the top three teams in each flight of the tournament, a hole-inone, closest to the pin and an opportunity to pay-the-pro on #5. Lunch is included so it should be a great day, not too hot, not too cold and before the green gunk makes it hard to breathe.

Cost is $95 per person ($90 if the event is pre-paid by March 24, 2023. Sign up at the Clubhouse or online at LAPOAGA.com
