Attention golfers: Dust off your clubs and pull on your cleats. The Plant City Lions Club will host its annual Charity Golf Tournament next month.
The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, at Walden Lake Golf & Country Club, 2001 Clubhouse Drive, Plant City. Currently, registration is open for individual golfers, as well as entire foursomes.
This year’s tournament will take place on a Friday rather than a Saturday. Tournament organizers expect the change will attract more golfers. Tournament Chairman Dave Davenport hopes to raise about $10,000 and host 100 golfers this year.
In addition to a round of golf, the tournament will include some special features. Players will be able to quench their thirst and satisfy their taste buds at the signature watering holes, which will feature sponsor restaurants and businesses offering beverages and food samples. In addition, participants will enjoy competing for raffle prizes, as well as an awards ceremony at the conclusion of the event.
Sponsorships still are available at a variety of levels:
Title Sponsor ($5,000). This sponsorship includes 12 player slots, first starting position, polo shirts, plaque, business name on tournament banner and ads, two hole signs and a box of balls for each player.
King Lion Sponsor ($2,000). This sponsorship includes eight player slots, polo shirts, plaque, business name on tournament banner and ads, hole sign and a box of balls for each player.
Pride Sponsor ($1,000). This sponsorship includes four player slots, business name on tournament banner and ads, hole sign and a box of balls for each player.
Cub Sponsor ($600). This sponsorship includes four player slots, business name on tournament banner and ads and a sleeve of balls for each player.
The tournament is one of the club’s three primary fundraisers. The other events include the Florida Strawberry Festival Queen Pageant and the Lions Club food booth at the Florida Strawberry Festival.
