Ex-mini tour pro golfer Pete "Jake" Jacobson will host The Jake, his first tournament on Wednesday at Ridgefield Country Club. It will benefit the fight against multiple sclerosis, which Jacobson has been battling since 2007.

After both a successful pro and amateur career, Jacobsen stopped playing in 2011.

The best ball tournament for teams of two features three separate divisions: men’s (80 percent handicap); women’s (80 percent handicap) and scratch (no handicap). Professionals are welcome. The  1 p.m. shotgun includes golf, cart, range, lunch, dinner, drinks, on-course contests, prizes, drawings and a silent auction. Sponsorship opportunities are currently available.
