Fore the Future: Celebrating the Success of the 2025 Golf FORE! Education Tournament

The South Baldwin Chamber Foundation’s 5th Annual Golf FORE! Education Tournament was another tremendous success — a perfect blend of golf, giving, and community spirit. Held on Friday, October 3, 2025, a beautiful day at the GlenLakes Golf Club in Foley and presented by King & King Attorneys at Law, the event brought together dozens of local businesses, players, and volunteers to support a great cause: enhancing education and enriching student success in South Baldwin County.

🏌️‍♂️ A Day of Fun, Food & Friendly Competition

The morning began with a hearty grab-and-go breakfast before players hit the course for an 8:00 AM shotgun start. Teams enjoyed the two-man scramble format, complete with exciting on-course games, plenty of laughs, and a little friendly rivalry. After a full day on the greens, everyone gathered for lunch at The Pub at GlenLakes, followed by a celebratory awards ceremony.
