Community golf tournament raises nearly $3,000 for Somerton Senior Center
SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The greens were buzzing with excitement Saturday morning as local golfers hit the course for a cause.
A community golf tournament at Cocopah RV & Golf Resort brought together 13 teams, all swinging for a shared goal: Supporting the Somerton Senior Center.
The event, held under clear skies and sunny weather, raised nearly $3,000 for the center, which provides vital services, meals, and programs for local seniors.
Brad Arnn, the resort's pro shop supervisor who helped run the tournament, said it's something he genuinely enjoys.
He said, "I love running it. It's what I do. It's something I enjoy to get people to go out there and enjoy themselves. A lot of people don't golf, but this gets them to golf and really enjoy the game."
The day included a friendly competition on the course, plenty of smiles, and a chance for participants of all skill levels to bond over the sport.
Organizers say they hope the tradition continues, and grows, with each year.
