400 golfers converged on Fort Myer Beach Saturday, January 17th, for The 14th Annual Fort Myers Beach Putt & Pub. Over $70,000 was raised and $50,000 will be distributed to 13 nonprofit organizations.
We have nearly 100 pictures fromthe event on our Facebook page HERE.
Hosted by the Fort Myers Beach Woman’s Club, and sponsored by the King Family Foundation, 13 non-profit organizations on the island paired with 12 local restaurants to create a miniature golf course. Teams arrived in full costume and enjoyed a day of golf and good times. Beach visitors also joined in the fun to make the event the largest to date.
Woman’s Club member and Putt & Pub Committee Chair Dawn Thomas said, “We had more sponsors than ever – who were so generous. Our non-profits and partnering restaurants created a fun-filled golf course. We even had weather that cooperated. “I also want to thank all the great golfers who came out to play and the volunteers who aided in another successful event! We can’t wait for 2027.”
