Kenny Olson Rock-N-Hole Charity Golf Tournament and Concert

Start: Saturday, August 2, 2025 7:00PM
End: Saturday, August 2, 2025 9:00PM

Former Kid Rock lead guitarist Kenny Olson, a 1986 Traverse City High School graduate, will bring his fiery blues-rock style to the stage for the 9th Annual Kenny Olson Rock-N-Hole Golf Tournament and Concert on Saturday, Aug. 2, at Elmbrook Golf Course, located at 1750 Townline Road in Traverse City. The tournament includes a 1 p.m. 18-hole scramble followed by the 7 p.m. outdoor concert. Proceeds go to the Hallie’s Hearts Endowment at the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, supporting women in northern Michigan impacted by ovarian cancer. The charity event honors Olson’s late cousin, Hallie Wastell, who died from the disease at age 44 in 2016. Olson is known for fusing a soulful and hard-hitting rock sound with blues and funk. He promises a show with “a little bit for everybody” in the audience. He will be joined onstage by keyboardist/singer Jimmy Olson (his cousin and Hallie’s brother), and special guest musicians. Registration for the scramble is $550 for a foursome, or $150 per golfer ($650 and $175 after July 19.) This covers two meals, cart/green fees and a ticket to the show. Concert-only tickets can be purchased for $30 the night of the show. (Bring a chair to ensure seating.) Auction items are being accepted for a day-long silent auction. To register or donate an auction item, call 231-392-0379.
