LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – The Texas South Plains Honor Flight will hold its 14th annual golf tournament Aug. 10 at LakeRidge Country Club.
The tournament is one of the major fundraisers for the organization, which honors local veterans by taking them to Washington, D.C. to visit monuments, memorials and museums built in their honor. This year’s event is particularly important as the organization plans two honor flight trips with the next set for October.

Tournament format changes
The tournament will feature a new format this year. Instead of only a morning tournament flight limited to 38 teams, organizers will offer both morning and afternoon tournament flights with 32 teams per flight.
“We feel like that will expedite play a little bit and won’t be as much time, actually, on the golf course,” said David Dabbs with the organization.
Registration is open on the organization’s website at TexasSouthPlainsHonorFlight.org . Sponsorship levels include major sponsors at $2,500, which includes a four-player team and recognition, including a banner displayed at the course. Four-player teams are $600, or $800 with hole sponsorship and recognition at a tee box. Hole sponsorship only is $300.
The tournament will also feature honor flags for sale. The U.S. flags are the size of flags used on the golf course and can be embroidered with a veteran’s name, rank and service branch. The flags honor active duty, retired or deceased service members and are displayed on the course during the tournament. Purchasers can take the flags home after the event.
The tournament includes snacks, drinks and meals, as well as an opportunity to participate in a raffle for various prizes.
