Tourney to tee off
'Fore Kids'
Saturday’s 21st annual Fore! Kids golf tournament will raise funds for
the local Boys & Girls Club and its more than 500 young members.
I
t’s been happening for 21 years: Well over 130
people showing up, golf clubs at the ready, to
tee off in support of Florence’s Boys & Girls
Club. The annual Fore! Kids Golf Classic is
one of the program’s biggest fundraising events of
the year, with proceeds helping fund summer pro-
grams such as Brain Gain, as well as field trips,
athletics and youth development such as SMART
Girls, Passport To Manhood, Money Matters and
others for youth grades K-12.
During the school year, funding goes to support
after-school and educational programs that teach
life skills to local youth.
Come Saturday, June 2, golf clubs will be at the
ready once again.
One of the highlights of the event is the annual
helicopter golf ball drop, a fundraiser in which
individual golf balls — each numbered — are
dropped from a helicopter onto the green. The
grand prize for the ball that lands either in the cup
or closest to it is $1,500, sponsored by The H Group
wealth management company.

OFFERING FREE SPORTS PHYSICALS J UNE 6
On Wednesday, June 6, PeaceHealth
Medical Group in Florence will part-
ner with the Siuslaw and Mapleton
school districts to provide free sports
physicals to students.
Sports Physical Day will be held
from 8 a.m. to noon at Siuslaw Middle
School, 2525 Oak St., in Florence.
PHMG will contribute medical sup-
plies and the time and expertise of five
providers and several medical assis-
tants for the event.
Sports physicals are required in
order for youths, grades 6 through 12,
to participate in extracurricular sports.
The exams are critical for safe sports
participation. They can help screen
athletes for potential illness or condi-
tions that may limit or restrict their
ability to participate in a school sport,
and help ensure that students are
physically capable of meeting the
demands and don’t have conditions
that may be aggravated by intense
exercise.
The Sports Physical Day exam
includes height, weight, blood pres-
sure and pulse check, as well as an eye
chart exam and examination by a pro-
vider.
Also included is a questionnaire
that asks about medical history. If a
provider encounters a medical issue,
the information is documented and
parents and/or guardians are notified
so they can follow up with the stu-
dent’s primary care provider.
Sports physical forms are available
at local schools or online (www.osaa.
org/docs/forms/Physical Examination
