2026 Mike Hilton Memorial Golf TournamentFranklin High School⛳ 6th Annual Mike Hilton Memorial Friends & Family Golf Tournament 💙 HONORING A LEGACY Welcome to the 6th Annual Mike Hilton Memorial Friends & Family Golf Tournament! What started in 2021 as an honor to Coach Hilton and his Family has become one of the best outings of the summer. Mike was a longtime Math teacher at Franklin High School and was the Head Football, Head Boys & Girls Golf, and Assistant Basketball Coach as well during his time there. His impact left an impression on so many student-athletes as well as all of his friends and family throughout his life. Mike’s respect, honor, attitude, joy, and selflessness are many of the attributes that are present in this tournament! This tournament is to honor him and the joy that he brought to so many. All proceeds from this tournament go towards Franklin High School Boys & Girls Golf Programs. Money raised will go towards constant upkeep of team bags, uniforms, training equipment, etc. Additionally, Franklin High School is looking to install a state-of-the-art Indoor Golf Simulator in our brand new Fieldhouse that is being built (should be completed by Fall 2028). Over the course (no pun intended!) of the next 3-4 years, we will be looking to raise $10,000 towards the cost of this. Any amount will be greatly appreciated, however enjoying a wonderful day of family, friendship, golf, and dinner with wonderful people is the best way!
