CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW

The Twin Cities Championship is a competitive golf tournament that raises money for our selected charity, the Fairway Foundation.  This organization, created by the Minnesota Golf Association and the Minnesota Section of the PGA, introduces inner-city youth to golf and the benefits of the game. Foundation players who complete the program receive scholarships for post-high school education
