COURT HOUSE – Time is running out to register a four-person team to participate in the 2013 Atlantic Cape Community College Scramble “Fore” Scholarships golf tournament, Oct. 11, at the Cape May National Golf Club.
This year’s event will feature a hole-in-one shootout for a chance to win a 2013 Key West 189 Family Sport CC fishing boat sponsored by Cape Harbor Marine Services LLC.
Additionally, registrants will have an opportunity to win “The Chalfonte Hotel Experience,” which includes an overnight stay at The Chalfonte Hotel and dinner for two in the Magnolia Room, valued at nearly $500.
The tournament will follow a scramble format, beginning with a shotgun-start at 11 a.m.
Player fees, which include gifts, lunch and a dinner awards banquet, are $150 per person and $500 per foursome.
Golfers can participate in a variety of skills challenges, including: rowboat chipping, closest-to-the-pin and longest drive contests. A Kindle Fire HD will be awarded to one of the skilled golfers. Other gifts for participating golfers are water bottles, flasks, golf towels, T-shirts and cigars.
Individuals and businesses can also participate in six sponsorship package opportunities ranging from $125 to $5,000. Last year’s event raised $25,000 for Atlantic Cape scholarships and Foundation operations.
