Kiva Dunes in Gulf Shores will serve as host to the 13th annual Shrimp Festival Golf Tournament.
The tournament is scheduled for Sept. 8, 2006. It will begin promptly at 12:30 pm with shotgun start. The tournament format will be a four-person scramble with handicap. Each group's handicap will be determined by averaging the handicaps of the golfers in each foursome.
The Shrimp Festival Golf Tournament can accommodate only the first 36 teams to sign up. Entry fees are $125 per person ($500 per team). The registration fee includes cart fee, golf fees and lunch prior to play. Prizes will be awarded for the first, second and third low net and low gross teams, closest to the pin and longest drive.
With only 21 of 80 units yet to be reserved in the Gulf Shores Golf Club's condo development project the success of phase one of the club's renovation plan is virtually assured.
The club's condo offering has a lot going for it. The condos are being built in a prime location and they are being offered at very attractive prices - about half the cost per square foot of comparable condo properties on the Gulf Shores beach front.
Baas earns spot in U.S. Senior Open
John Baas, a teaching pro at Craft Farms Resort in Gulf Shores, fired a 69 at Arrowhead Country Club in Montgomery on Monday, then won a sudden-death playoff to qualify for the U.S. Senior Open July 6-9 at Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kan.
Baas defeated Frank Johnson of Prattville in the playoff to claim the only berth from a field of 37 players at the Montgomery sectional qualifier.
Baas and Johnson matched pars on the first three holes of the playoff before Baas clinched his first spot in a USGA event with a short birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole.
