Tee it up for GCHS! Shelter to host second Top Golf Tournament Sept. 17

Grab those drivers and iron golf clubs out of the bag and join the fun for the Gulf Coast Humane Society’s Top Golf Tournament, Sunday, Sept. 17, from 1-5 p.m. at Top Golf in Fort Myers, located at 2021 Topgolf Way. 

No matter how you fair in the tee box, your participation will be a winner for the GCHS shelter animals, with the Top Golf Tournament being one of the shelter’s biggest fundraisers of the year. 

For the last stretch run to the big event, GCHS is offering a price reduction of $200 on the traditional bays (which suits six golfers) to drop the registration fee to $600! This is to help ensure a sell out of the bays, going by the adage of “The more, the merrier!” 

This package includes six players, access to the Fajita Fiesta buffet and three hours of unlimited golf play. 

This year, there is a new VIP Experience for $1,500 per bay. The VIP Experience will include six players with access to comfy couches in each bay, a premium top shelf open bar, exclusive Fajita Fiesta buffet and three hours of unlimited gameplay. 

But the VIP Experience is limited to 10 bays, so it is urged to potential teams to register as soon as possible. 

Each team is also able to register up to two extra guests to join. The cost for VIP guests is $100 (which includes the buffet and open premium bar) and $50 for non-VIP (which includes the buffet). 

“Last year, everyone had a great time at the Top Golf Tournament and it became an important fundraiser for the shelter,” said GCHS executive director Gary Willoughby. “We are expanding the event this time around to add more enjoyment and hopefully raise more funds for the shelter animals.”
