Golfers Invited to Enjoy NW Florida Gulf Coast’s Premier Amateur Tournament; Portion of the Proceeds to Benefit Destin Fisherman’s Fund

     Destin, FL, June 18 - The premier tournament for the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast, the Seafood Festival Golf Classic, returns to the Indian Bayou Golf Course on Sept. 10-11. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Destin Fisherman’s Fund.

     The Seafood Festival Golf Classic is designed to draw competitive players from across our region for two days of play. The format will be two-man teams, best ball. The tournament will be flighted at the completion of the first round.

     The Destin Fisherman’s Fund helps the mates from Destin’s charter boat fleet and their families during a time when the fleet is being hit with elevated fuel prices, fishing restrictions, and, now, the oil spill.

     "Destin was founded by hard-working fishing families. They are the ones who created the history and heritage that we celebrate here. Anything we can do as a chamber and as a community to help them when there is a need, it’s just something we should do," said Chamber President and CEO Shane Moody, CCE, IOM.

     For more information or to reserve your playing spot or sponsorship, please contact the Chamber’s Director of Events Risa Garner at (850) 837-2711 x2 or rgarner@DestinChamber.com. For more information on the Destin Fisherman’s Fund, please visit www.DestinFishermenForChrist.com.
