A whole lot of skill and a little bit of luck might be all it takes for the winning team to finish on top in the 28th Annual Mayor’s Tourney scheduled for St. Patrick’s Day 2016. The tournament, scheduled for March 17, 2016 at Quail Creek Golf Course, benefits public education in Fairhope.
Organized by Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation (FEEF) and The City of Fairhope, with title sponsor Terry Thompson Chevrolet, the tourney expands to a full day format this year, allowing space for both corporate teams and individual players. Tournament co-chairs Erik Nist and Carrie Mackey plan on plenty of shenanigans on the greens to raise funds for programs such as science labs, engineering, art, music, and theatre in the five Fairhope schools.
“Fairhope students would not have the opportunity to participate in these programs without community support,” said Nist. “The Mayor’s tourney plays a critical role in funding enrichment in your schools and we hope the expanded format gives everyone who wishes to play, an opportunity to participate and have fun.”
Tee times for preferred time of play are available on a first-come, first serve basis. Sponsorship includes Wednesday’s practice round ($17 cart fee only), Thursday’s round, breakfast catered by Chick-Fil-A, lunch courtesy of Burris Farm Market, beverages on the course, awards ceremony, dinner catered by Wintzell’s Oyster House, and the chance to win door prizes generously donated by PGA golf legends and local businesses.
Non-golfers can participate by adopting a tee sign, honoring a teacher, coach or classroom, for $150. Twenty-five dollars from each tee sign sold goes to the honoree for use in the classroom. FEEF will display the tee sign at one of 18 tee boxes during the tournament and again outside the schools during the week following the tournament. Year-round advertising on Quail Creek tee markers is also available.
The registration deadline is Monday, March 13, 2016. Visit www.feefonline.org to download a sponsorship form and reserve your sponsorship, team, tee sign, or tee marker today. For more information, call 990-FEEF or email info@feefonline.org.
