The 15th annual Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northland Tee Up Fore Kids Golf Classic was held at the Ridgeview Country Club in Duluth on Monday.

This year, there were 160 teams participating in the five-person scramble Golf Classic, and organizers said they had to turn teams away.

The Tee Up Fore Kids Golf Classic fundraiser is an annual event to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of the Northland with proceeds benefitting programs for kids in Duluth, Superior, and the Iron Range.
