The Foley Police Department has been selected to host the 2017 United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) National dog trials. The USPCA is a nonprofit association that provides training and qualifications to federal, state, county and municipal law enforcement K9 programs.

This is an event that will bring K9s and their handlers from all over the country to the Foley community. This weeklong event will be in September 2017, and will take place in the newly constructed Foley Sports Tourism Complex, behind Tanger Outlet. At the conclusion of the week there will be a free demonstration to the public featuring the K9’s abilities, including a lights and sirens police vehicle procession. GlenLakes Golf Club congratulates the Foley Police Department on a great national honor and is extremely pleased to host an event that will support such a worthy cause.

The Foley Police Department K9 Unit is currently seeking donations to make this a successful event, as well as sponsorships from local businesses and community members for support. They are also organizing a fun filled golfing and footgolfing event which all proceeds will go to this cause.

The city of Foley Police K9 Unit and GlenLakes Golf Club announce the first ever dual tournament scramble on March 11; two tournament scrambles on the same day at the same event.

Entry fees include green fees, use of the practice area, lunch and raffle tickets. Golf contests include “Closest to the Pin” and “Longest Drive.” All proceeds will go to the K9 Police Unit. All participants will finish around the same time followed by lunch.

Reserve your spot today. The tournament is open to the first 80 players. Golf cost per player is $65, and FootGolf per player is $30. FootGolfers need to bring their own ball. March 1 is the deadline for registration. Sign in at GlenLakes begins at 8 a.m. on March 11.
