Officer Memorial Golf Tournament

The Springfield Ohio Fraternal Order of Police and FOP Associates announced the Officer Kenneth G. Hopper Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Wednesday at Locust Hills Golf Club. Although this is not the FOP/FOPA’s first golf tournament, this is the first tournament to be held named in honor of long-time Springfield Police Office Kenneth G. Hopper.

Registration begins at 8 a.m., with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. There will be awards, a 50-50 raffle, a “longest drive” contest for both men and women, a “closest to the pin contest”, a “Hole In One” contest with a $10,000 prize, and the drawing for the Henry “Golden Boy “FOP Tribute Edition rifle.

Tickets for the grand prize drawing, a collectors model Henry “Golden Boy “FOP Tribute Edition rifle will be available at the tournament. The drawing for the Henry rifle will be held during the banquet following the tournament. There will be a total of only 200 tickets sold for this drawing.

To purchase chances on the Henry rifle, have questions about the event, wish to register for the golf tournament, or to donate to the event, contact Karen Turnmire at FOPGOLF@yahoo.com or 937-605-1449.
