PUNTA GORDA — This year’s theme for Fred Lang Foundation’s putt-putt golf fundraiser is “It’s a Jungle Out There!”
Jill Ferguson, president of the foundation, said the event starts at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 1. Nine local restaurants are participating.
Groups of four, or individuals, will play a hole of putt-putt golf at nine restaurants around Punta Gorda and vie for prizes.
All are encouraged to dress in a costume for the theme.
Kelly Pomerville, spokesperson for CBHC, said some of the teams that have registered so far are Bob’s Zoo, Par-Tee in the Jungle, Hakuna Matata, Pack of Bears and Talk Birdie to Me.
The putt-putt locations are Beef O’Brady’s, Burg’r Bar, Celtic Ray Public House, Dean’s South of the Border, Dough Bar, Downtown Gator Bar & Grill, Hurricane Charley’s, Ice House and TT’s Tiki Bar.
The entry fee is $100 for a foursome or $25 per individual player. Players are asked to bring their own putter and golf ball.
Players can either walk from location to location or use the free shuttle service.
A closing party will be held at 6 p.m. at Hurricane Charley’s where raffle prizes will be given out and grand prizes awarded.
Putt-putt winning categories are: lowest team score, highest team score, lowest individual score and highest individual score. There will also be a prize for most outstanding team costume.
“We max out at 130 teams; right now we have 40,” Ferguson said.
Players may register online at www.CBHCfl.org/events/ or by calling Ferguson at 412-973-0429.
