Perfect Day for Art Center Golf Tournament

A perfect Florida fall morning greeted the golfers at Hammock Bay Golf & Country Club for the 6th annual Marco Island Center for the Arts Golf Tournament, a fundraiser for the non-profit Art Center at 1010 Winterberry Drive. Proceeds benefit classes for children and adults, art exhibitions and events.

Scramble competition amongst the golfers was tough but first and second place were claimed, and the closest to the pin and longest drive winners were declared at the awards luncheon.

“We thank the players, sponsors, and Hammock Bay for creating a terrific tournament for Marco Island Center for the Arts,” said Chairperson Jim Richards.
