On February 16 at the beautiful Emerald Bay Golf Course in Destin, golfers enjoyed a four-person golf scramble to benefit local charity events in the community.
Eddie Morgan, owner of Harbor Docks restaurant, and Rachael Sharp, co-tournament director, organized the event for the 38th time! Delicious crawfish and sandwiches fueled the players before the shot-gun start. The winners were announced and prizes awarded in the mid-afternoon. First place winners (Gross) included: Owen Kueny, Garrett Burgess, Steve Kueny and Payton Osborn. First place winners (Net) included: Luke Bilger, Jared Dunn, Jacob Castle and Jeff Shoults.
Proceeds from the tournament support two important community events. The first happens usually on the first Sunday in November, “Take A Kid Fishing Day.” Those children who might not have had the opportunity or been able to afford a day on a fishing boat, get to experience catching a fish in the Gulf. Local boat captains volunteer their boat, time and services and children get to fish, take their catch to the docks, clean the fish and cook the fish as well. What a fantastic experience for children!
The next charity benefiting from the golf tournament is the Destin Harvest, the free Thanksgiving event for the community held at Harbor Docks each Thanksgiving. No one pays for a seat at the Thanksgiving tables at Harbor Docks on Thanksgiving. A special day for a special community. Thank you Harbor Docks for this legacy!
