Celebrity Golf

For golf enthusiasts, it doesn’t get much better than a golf tournament. Golfers love the chance to put their skills to the test; observers enjoy the showcase of competition.

If it’s possible to heighten the excitement surrounding a golf tournament, adding celebrities to the event may be the way to go—which is exactly what will happen on September 1st in Gulf Shores. Mark Gottfried, basketball analyst for ESPN and former long-time college basketball coach, will host a golf tournament held at Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club. To make things more interesting, more than 20 celebrities—current and former college athletes and coaches, former NBA and NFL players, and TV personalities—will also be in attendance.

Participants and observers will get the chance to both witness a first-ever star-studded golf tournament and make a contribution to the community, as tournament proceeds will be donated and used as scholarships for local youth recreational programs.
