Allsman said there are no additional fees for entry into the putting contest and shoot-out. “Those contests are part of the golfer’s entry,” he said.
There tournament also features other optional games like skins, in the circle, the pro shot, and mulligan sticks that golfers may choose to participate in for a nominal fee.

Golfers and sponsors are still needed for the event. Golfers and sponsors can register online at riverbendercommunitycenter.org/ register. All proceeds benefit the Center, which provides programs and activities for Riverbend teens which encourage them to meet friends, socialize and enjoy games, recreation and technology in a safe place free from the outside influence of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. As the RBCC’s largest fundraiser, the Scramble raised nearly $14,000 last year.
