LEOMINSTER -- City and state officials, as well as school administrators and Leominster residents, are lacing up their spikes and shining their clubs for a golf tournament benefiting the Leominster Education Foundation on Monday.

"It's going to be quite a day," Ernest Muserallo, member of the Leominster Education Foundation Board and business administrator for the school district, said Friday.

The tournament takes place at Oak Hill Country Club in Fitchburg. Registration runs from 11 a.m. until 12:45 p.m.

A shotgun start will begin play at 1 p.m., followed by cocktails and dinner at 6 p.m.

Muserallo said the public is welcome to watch the golfers as they play and can attend dinner at the country club for a cost of $50 per person.

Muserallo said there are 102 golfers signed up, but they are "looking for a couple more."

State Sen. Robert A. Antonioni and Leominster state Rep. Jennifer L. Flanagan will be attending dinner at the club, but will not play in the tournament.

Flanagan said she will not be playing due to a prior speaking engagement at Fitchburg State College, and because she said she doesn't know how to golf.

Flanagan said she did sponsor a foursome consisting of her brother, Tim Flanagan, a Leominster High School graduate, and three other players.

"I don't golf, but this is a way I can help. I really believe in the foundation and what Superintendent (Nadine) Binkley is trying to do with it," Flanagan said.

Each golfer donated $150 in order to play, with all proceeds going to the Leominster Education Foundation and their technology initiative.

"We're trying to buy mobile computer labs for the schools,"Binkley explained.

Each lab will consist of two carts with 12 or 14 laptop computers for each cart, she said.

The carts will also have a wireless hub so each laptop can access the Internet, a printer, a digital camera, a video camera and a projector.

"These mobile computer labs will allow teachers to turn any classroom into a wireless center," Binkley said.

Sponsors, including Leominster Credit Union, IC Federal Credit Union, W.B. Mason, Worker's Credit Union, and Norm Wagner Toyota have donated golf memorabilia, ski passes, hotel gift certificates and other prizes and raffle items for golfers and attendees.

The biggest prize up for grabs is a car donated by Norm Wagner Toyota, which will be given to a lucky golfer for a hole-in-one at the fifth hole.

The fifth is a par 3, which means golfers are expected to get the ball to the green in just one stroke, with two more to sink it, Jim O'Leary, golf pro at Oak Hill said.

But, he said, despite the low par number, the fifth hole is certainly not easy.

"It's an uphill par, measuring between 134 and 151 yards, depending on where the tee marker is that day. And it's well bunkered from the front," he said.

O'Leary said hole-in-ones have happened there before, but not very often.

"There is probably about one a year," he said.
