adminare expected to grace the inaugural tournament and pay their respects to the late golf legend.
Brooke Country Club was Price’s home until he passed away last year after a lengthy battle with cancer.
The veteran golf tutor and administrator will be remembered at his home course and the tournament is expected to raise funds that will be channeled to the club’s junior golf development.
Plans to form the Tim Price Foundation are underway as the golfer had passion for the game’s development.
Price nurtured a lot of golfers who have since graduated to make names for themselves. He hailed from a golfing family and was instrumental in the development of junior golf in the country.
John Kelley, a member at Borrowdale Brooke, said the memorial tournament was a noble idea and they had big plans for the project.
“Part of the objective is to provide equipment and coaching, limited assistance for education costs and the funding of travel costs for juniors taking part in international, regional and local tournaments,” said Kelley
“The cost of becoming a foundation member is US$1 000 and the aim is to raise US$20 000.”
Price was the elder brother of triple Major winner Nick, whom he coached when they were young.
He was a founder and organiser of the Zimbabwe Open and manager of local tours. He was also a club designer and technician.
Price roared to international prominence during a world championship match at St Andrews when he was drawn to play the great Seve Ballesteros in a medal Matchplay event, loosing by only one shot.
Meanwhile, Chapman Golf Club will today host the CBZ Golf Day with a full field expected. The annual event will see invited golfers taking to the field in a four-ball-better-ball stableford. The golfers have been asked to arrive at the tee boxes in time as a big field is expected.
