Carson Lions Putt Pitch and Sip 2026

11th Annual Putt Pitch and Sip 2026

Celebrate summer with the Carson City Host Lions Club at the 11th Annual Putt, Pitch and Sip on Monday, July 20, 2026, at Silver Oak Golf Course in Carson City, Nevada. This fun-filled community fundraiser is a relaxed social event—not a golf tournament—making it perfect for golfers and non-golfers alike. Enjoy an evening of putting, pitching, great food, and fellowship while celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary with friends, family, and neighbors.

The event runs from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and includes a barbecue dinner, with clubs and golf balls provided. Participants are encouraged to wear tennis shoes, comfortable clothing, and patriotic attire. Attend as an individual, bring a partner, or register a foursome. Space is limited to 70 participants, so early RSVP is encouraged.

Hosted by the Carson City Host Lions Club, proceeds from this annual event help support local community service projects and charitable programs throughout Carson City and Northern Nevada. Join us for an evening of fun while making a positive impact in your community.
