Guard members take part in Hooligan Memorial golf tournament

Hawley, Minn. (WDAY TV) - They got a game in before the rain and for a great cause. Today, Happy Hooligans landed on the Hawley golf course for a charity outing.

For ten years, retired and active Air Guard members have been taking part in the Hooligan Memorial golf tournament. More than 40-golfers took part today, raising money for programs that benefit guard families and those who have passed.

“The veteran’s cemetery in ND was not funded at all and so they were trying to raise money to get started and we decided this was a way not only to have fun but also to help benefit the vets cemetery.”

Some of the money from today's golf outing also helps in the planning of the annual Christmas party for the children of air guard members.
