The 7th annual charity golf tournament to benefit the Sligo-based Northwest cancer hospice unit will take place this Saturday, Aug. 19, on a new 18-hole golf course at Pleasantville Thunderhart, in Freehold, N.Y. Tee time is 11 a.m.

The course was previously a 9-hole course but now, with 18 holes, is able to accommodate up to 144 golfers.

The cost is $100 per person or $400 per foursome; this includes green fees, electric cart, light lunch and refreshments and full course dinner. Tee sponsorship costs $100. To attend the dinner costs $25 per person.
