Sponsor Spotlight
The event is proudly sponsored by Florida Coast Equipment, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and that everyone has a wonderful time. Whether you are a die-hard golfer or someone who enjoys the thrill of auctions, there’s something for everyone!
All About the Auction
Mark your calendars! The silent auction kicks off online on Wednesday, September 24 at 5 p.m. EDT and will move to in-person bidding on the day of the tournament, October 3. Best of all, it’s open to the public!
The auction will feature a treasure trove of items, including equine services, delightful product baskets, beautiful art, enticing sports packages, and collectible autographed memorabilia. Among the highlights are signed pieces from legendary Hall of Fame jockeys like the late Ron Turcotte, Steve Cauthen, and Jacinto Vasquez. Sports fans can even pick up Buccaneer tickets as a part of the auction offerings!
Let the Games Begin!
The tournament kicks off with a shotgun scramble at 12:30 p.m., so get ready to tee off and show off those golfing skills! Throughout the day, a variety of promotions will keep spirits high. Think free wedge stamping on the practice green, delicious tastings, a Roz cigar bar, and a super exciting Hole-in-Two contest. Players will even have the option to nominate someone to take their long drive shot, which could lead to a chance to win a round at the breathtaking Pebble Beach!
Brunch and Dinner Delights
Before the tournament heats up, a brunch event will set the tone, featuring speaker Kathleen O’Connell, along with book signings for those looking to dive into equine history. As the day winds down, golfers can look forward to an awards dinner—also sponsored by Florida Coast Equipment—where winners will be celebrated.
