Shrimp Festival golf event set Sept. 8

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.

Net proceeds from the Shrimp Festival Golf Tournament will benefit the Alabama Gulf Coast Area Educational Foundation for scholarships to be given to local graduating seniors.

To sign up for the tournament, donate a door prize or for information on being a hole sponsor, contact Sarah Hicks at the chamber office at 968-7220 or e-mail sarahj@gulftel.com. The deadline for registration and payment is Aug. 28.
