The St. Croix Marine Corps Association, Inc., will host its Fourth Annual Toys for Tots Golf Tournament at the Carambola Golf Course on Sept. 19.
"Every penny raised goes to the purchase and distribution of toys," said Marcy Davenport, Toys for Tots coordinator.
The tournament format will be a four-person team scramble with a shotgun start. Trophies and prizes will be awarded for the first through fourth place teams. There will be an award for the top all-Marine Team as well.
Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin awards will also be given to men and women players. The tournament also offers four hole-in-one prizes, including a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara from Metro Motors, for an ace on the 14th hole
Last year, former Marines on St. Croix distributed nearly 600 toys through the American Red Cross, Bethlehem House, The Gideons, the Women’s Coalition and Partners in Recovery.
"You’ve got to be tough to play in a Marine Tournament," said former Marine Jim Davenport, noting that the event is scheduled in the middle of Hurricane season. "This event will only be canceled for a Category 3 hurricane or greater."
