The seventh annual Irish-American Heritage Society Golf Tournament will be held May 12 at the Almaden Golf and Country Club in San Jose. Teams of four will open with a shotgun start that Monday, and the winning foursome will claim a 10-day holiday tour of Ireland.

At a cost of $1,500, the Shamrock Foursome golf package includes four rounds of golf, carts, luncheon and an awards dinner buffet. At $2,500, the Emerald Foursome includes everything in the Shamrock package, plus hole sponsorship, a tee sign, recognition and a gift to the society's educational scholarship program. Each Emerald Foursome can select a golfer to participate in the $1 million hole-in-one shootout on Almaden's 165-yard ninth hole.

Proceeds from the tourney benefit youth scholarships and activities in Ireland. For more information, call 408.445.1364.
