The Frank Lewis Glick American Legion Post 46 is hosting the second annual Al Hoop Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Hoop, who passed away in March 2024, was a Marshalltown native and long-time City Councilman who also spent three decades coaching multiple sports at Marshalltown High School. He served as one of Post 46’s vice commanders and was elected to the local executive board.

“Al did so much for the Marshalltown community and the Legion in particular,” said David Boles, the club pro at the American Legion Memorial Golf Course. “Hopefully this tournament will remind folks of the good work Al provided so many of us.”

The tournament will be a four-person best shot nine-hole event. Cost is $30 which includes green fees, a cart, lunch and prizes. Those entrants who get registered prior to Wednesday, Sept. 10, will also receive a complimentary commemorative T-shirt.

Registration is limited to the first 20 groups.

Proceeds from last year’s event went to help finance child safety seats through the Marshalltown Police Department, a cause that Hoop supported. The Al Hoop Hitting Facility at the Marshalltown Little League complex was renovated and refurbished to allow Marshalltown youth a chance to train and enhance their skills during the winter months.

Any group or individual interested in sponsoring the Hoop Memorial Tournament should contact Steve Hanson at (641) 750-2688 for more information.
