Stonebrook Golf Club in Pace will be hosting this year’s Charity Golf Tournament on Friday August 23rd.  Registration will begin at 11 a.m. with a 1 p.m. shotgun start for a 4-person scramble. The entry fee is $100 per player or $400 per team with an entry deadline set for August 16.  Tee signs can be purchased for $100 each. 

Entry fee includes delicious food and beverages served throughout the day by local vendors such as Ale House, Beef O’ Brady’s, Happy Pig, Goldring Gulf Distributing, Hemmingway’s, Subway, Hooters and Bamboo Willies as well as Cigars from the Grand Reserve. There will be great prizes and awards for the longest drive and closest to the pin, including a $250 spa package from Stay The Clinical Spa, door prizes, a silent auction and goody bags for all golfers at registration.  A hole-in-one wins a new car from Astro Lincoln.

All proceeds go to Special Olympics Florida – Escambia/Santa Rosa Golf Team. The team is extremely excited that their hard work has paid off in qualifying them to send a delegation to the Special Olympics Florida State Golf Championship in Kissimmee, Fla on September 6th and 7th, 2013.
