The 10: Have your fill of food, culture and causes this week
Lots of fun, music, dancing and, of course, food is ahead in Montgomery in this week's The 10 for Sept. 26-Oct. 2.
Eat at the tee during the Grand Pineapple Golf Challenge
No, this event has nothing to do with SpongeBob SquarePants. The 2022 Grand Pineapple Golf Challenge and "Taste at the Tee" is Monday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Wynlakes Golf & Country Club, 7900 Wynlakes Blvd., Montgomery. This is the Alabama Restaurant & Hospitality Association's annual golf tournament, a fun four-person scramble. At every hole, the "Taste at the Tee" lets golfers sample food and drinks from Alabama restaurants, breweries and distilleries. Everyone walks away with a prize — beach trips, spa packages, hotel stays, dinners and more. This event sells out quickly. Register online at www.arhaonline.com/arhagolf.html.
