The Apartment Association of Greater Augusta holds its 13th annual Tee Off Fore Tatas charity golf

tournament Oct. 7 at Mount Vintage Golf Club.

Proceeds from the tournament will be donated to the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University for breast cancer research.

Shelly Martin has chaired the event committee since its start and is looking forward to another great event.

"The Apartment Association and our committee enjoy so much getting to put on an event like this in our community,” said Martin. “Not only do we have a great time on the course, we are making an impact locally on the breast cancer research being done here at the Georgia Cancer Center."

Tee Off Fore Tatas is open to the public and welcomes players of all skill levels. Registration is available online now at www.golfaaga.com. Spots are $200 for single players and $800 for teams of four.

Sponsorship levels begin at $400. Donations of any amount are appreciated.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided to players. Following the tournament will be an awards ceremony and live auction.

Last year the tournament raised $42,719.96. This brings the total donated to over $200,000 since the tournament’s inception.

“Each year we have a goal of exceeding the prior year,” said Martin. “With the community's support, 2022 will be the best year yet!"

Golfers can participate in several contests, including the longest drive, closest to the pin and putting contest.
