This weekend will be the 10th annual Corey Goodnature Memorial Scholarship Golf Classic. This event raises money for the Corey Goodnature scholarships given out to graduating seniors.

It is in honor of Goodnature, who was a part of the Navy SEALs who came under intense fire in the mountains of Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. Goodnature was the flight lead pilot of the aircraft. They attempted to land and rescue stricken SEALs but during the landing the aircraft was hit and it crashed onto the mountainside. All 16 on board were instantly killed.

The golf tournament will be from 11 a.m. to approximately 9 p.m. Saturday at Green Lea Golf Course. Registration for the tournament and the silent auction will start at 11 a.m. At 12:30 p.m. will be the opening ceremonies, with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. At 5:30 p.m. there will be a meal along with the closing of the silent auction. Following that will be a 6:30 p.m. live auction. Finally, there will be live music from Matt Tennessen.

Cost is $65 per golfer, which includes nine holes of golf with a cart and dinner. If you just want the pork dinner the cost is $10.
