This event has grown and will continue to grow as the premiere charitable golf tournament in the panhandle.

Panhandle Charitable Open
Golf Tournament 2011

Panhandle Charitable Golf Tournament

This tournament has grown into a high quality golf tournament supporting several local charities. The Panhandle Charitable Open, a 501c3 non profit organization has raised thousands of dollars for local charities thanks to the generous support of businesses and individuals like you. The success in recent years of the PCO enabled our board to donate over $201,000 to charities such as Child Guardians, Inc., Gulf Coast Kids House, Council on Aging of West Florida, ARC Gateway, Manna Food Bank, Escambia Charter School, and Covenant Hospice. The primary charities this year will be Child Guardians, Inc., Council on Aging of West Florida, and Gulf Coast Kids House. Increasing the number of charities that participate highlights a goal of the PCO to continue to expand the impact and reach of our golf tournament.

This tournament uses a 2-day, 2-person Best Ball format which is unique to charity tournament in that it allows each player to play their own ball from tee to green. Teams will be flighted after the first day in order to group teams by skill level. We are expanding the possible playing times to allow for additional participation as well as attempting to maintain a reasonable pace of play. The tournament will be played Friday, September 30th and Saturday, October 1st, 2012. Play will be Friday Afternoon/Saturday Morning. We reserve the right to change tee times in consideration of pace of play and the integrity of the event. All players and their spouses/guests will be treated to live music and food after play on Friday.

We welcome your participation in the 10th Annual Panhandle Charitable Open as we continue to build this event into the premier charity golf tournament in the panhandle. Please feel free to contact any of the golf committee members for additional information.
