Grandfathers for Golf, the Hemet/San Jacinto-based non-profit charity dedicated to teaching children how to play golf for free, has announced its major fundraiser for 2026: the 16th Annual Memorial Tourney at Soboba Springs Golf Course on Friday, March 13, with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The 4-person scramble format is open to all golfers of any skill level.
Cost is $150 per person, (or $500 per foursome if paid by March 1, 2026) and is tax deductible.

Entry fee includes 18 holes of golf, food and trophies for first, second and third places as well as Long Drive and Closest to the Pin contests. Women and Seniors 70 or older can play from the Senior Tees, which are Silver. All others play from the Blue tees. The field is limited to 144 players, and the tourney sells out fast, so get your foursomes together and make sure to sign up early. If you don’t have a foursome, you can sign up and we will put you with one.
The Memorial (formerly the Marty Finn Memorial) is the only fundraiser the group holds each year. Grandfathers is a purely volunteer organization, with no salaries for organizers, and no fees charged to students in the program. Grandfathers has been operating for more than 20 years in the Hemet/San Jacinto area, teaching hundreds of kids from all walks of life not only golf, but life skills such as sportsmanship, etiquette, camaraderie, and honor. Grandfathers gives every child a golf bag, clubs, balls, a uniform and lessons for free.
