GOLETA – The Friends of SM Baseball Annual Golf Tournament is coming up on Friday, Jan. 26, at noon at the beautiful Glen Annie Golf Club (405 Glen Annie Road).  Whether you are an experienced or novice player, organizers welcome the public to join for a fun day of golf, lunch, amazing raffle prizes, and a chance to bid on a six-night stay at a resort in Cabo. Gather a foursome to play, or one can be formed for you.  Either way, this is a wonderful way to spend the day and support a great cause at the same time.

The event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the San Marcos High School Royals Baseball Program and is put on by the non-profit group Friends of SM Baseball. The funds raised go directly to support this award-winning program, which has won Channel League the past three years in a row and played in the CIF Championship game in 2023 for the first time in school history. The money raised will be used to pay for items including field maintenance and gear that goes beyond the limited budget provided.

Hardworking players and coaches who are getting ready for opening day of baseball on Feb. 10 thank participants in advance for their support.

“We can’t wait to see your smiling faces at Glen Annie on Friday, Jan. 26, for a memorable day and a great fundraiser for SMHS Royals Baseball,” an event spokesperson said. “You will soon see why the golfers who participate come back year after year.”
