The Ocala Open will begin with a Charity Pro-Am event on Tuesday, March 15th. Amateur golfers will challenge the Candler Hills layout paired with one of the Ocala Open golf professionals.

Start the day with a breakfast personally prepared by our Friendship Catering Chefs - fresh fruit and pastries along with cooked-to-order omelets. After that, the golfers will be able to select their tee gift at the Callaway tent situated on the Candler Hills driving range. Warm-up the golf swings next to the pros that will be vying for Ocala Open honors later in the week; play golf with the pro and get a few pointers for your own game as well.

Complete the day with the Champions’ Roundup Barbeque and Awards Luncheon. The best part: your involvement benefits Hospice of Marion County, Inc. and Interfaith Emergency Services.

Pro-Am field limited to the first 30 paid teams. Entry deadline is March 4, 2011. To register yourself or a team to participate in the Pro-Am contact Matt Hibbs at 352-861-9712.
