81st Annual Golf Outing

81st Annual Golf Outing

Join us at the AFS TC Chapter’s 81st Annual Golf Outing at Majestic Oaks Golf Course in Ham Lake on Friday, July 10, 2026.  Shotgun tee-off starts at 8:30 AM this year, with lunch and prizes in the Cedar Lounge (downstairs in clubhouse) after the links.  The schedule was shifted earlier so we can be home earlier.  We hope you can all make it for a great fund raising event to support student scholarships.

Registration is now open. You may sign up on our events page or by filling out this form with payment by no later than Tuesday, June 30th.



Since the tournament’s inception, thousands of dollars in scholarships have been awarded to worthy metal casting students annually. This is due to the generosity and cooperation of foundries, suppliers, and their employees.  In addition, annual advertisers benefit from exposure and local sales at www.afstwincities.org and nationally at www.afsinc.org (250/8,000 views monthly) when your advertisement is published on the website and in electronic newsletters.

Take advantage of the sponsor opportunities and register your foursome by Tuesday, June 30th. This event has a longstanding reputation for great golf, awesome prizes, and loads of fun. Our chapter is committed to promoting companies who are dedicated to making metal casting a strong and viable industry, and your support is greatly appreciated. Persons wishing to volunteer for course games will receive lunch at no charge. Contact Joe Kranz if interested. 

Your golf entry fee includes greens fee, golf cart, lunch and prizes.
