Young golfers aged 8 to 18, are encouraged to play in the 2-day tournament at the Eglin AFB Eagle golf course on Wednesday and Thursday, July 12 and 13. Youth aged 12 to 18 will play 18 holes each day, and 8 to 11 year-olds will play 9 holes each day. Beginner and intermediate players are welcome. With tee times starting at 8 a.m. each morning, 12 to 18 year-olds’ entry fee is $95, and 8 to 11-year-olds’ entry fee is $60, which includes green fees, food, refreshments, tournament t-shirt and trophies to winners in all divisions.

The golf tournament’s beneficiary, Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center, serves young victims of abuse and neglect at two child friendly centers, the Pierce Family Children’s Advocacy Center in DeFuniak Springs and the Niceville Center. A nonprofit organization, ECCAC’s mission is to protect children in Okaloosa and Walton counties and restore the lives of impacted children and their families.
