A golf tournament Saturday, June 18, at Wild Wings Golf Course west of Woodland will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Yolo County. The third annual “Golf Fore Habitat” event, which features a shotgun start and scramble format, will begin at 8 a.m.

There is space for 72 players on this nine-hole course. Since there are three par-3 holes, and each hole will be played twice, the closest-to-the-pin competition should be hotly contested, organizers said.

Habitat for Humanity of Yolo County is a local nonprofit housing organization that was established in 1993 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. The Yolo County chapter partners with people from all walks of life to build decent, affordable homes for families in need with the ultimate goal of eliminating poverty housing worldwide.

Habitat has built homes in Davis and Woodland and is not a give-away program; homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor into building their Habitat home. Habitat is in the process of wrapping up construction on its latest project — a duplex unit in the Heidrick Ranch area of Woodland.

The tournament fee is $90 per golfer, which includes 18 holes, golf cart, lunch and entry into golf prizes. Golfers who pay for three entries get a fourth player free, or fathers are invited to add a child for only $60.

Pre-registration is required and may be done online through PayPal at http://www.habitatyolo.org.
