BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — The Space Coast Gator Club will host its annual “Kickoff Party & Golf Challenge” at Duran Golf Club on August 10th.
The Golf Challenge begins at 4:00 pm, followed by the Kickoff Party at 5:30 pm. This is a family friendly event and the club’s most entertaining and biggest fundraiser of the year.
All of the proceeds go to fund scholarships for local Brevard County students to attend UF.
“This event always sells out so you should get your tickets early,” said Randy Gray, Kickoff Party Chairman.
Guest speaker Zach Abolverdi from the Gainesville Sun will preview the upcoming season with a dynamic video presentation. He will give an insider’s look on Gator players who will make an impact on this year’s team.
Zach follows only Gator football and is a specialist in recruitment. He will also touch on the latest recruits joining the Gator Nation in the near future.
His presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.
THE FUN BEGINS AT 3 P.M.
The fun begins at 3 p.m. with a free Kids Clinic. The always-popular Nine Hole Golf Challenge starts at 4:00 pm but come early to warm up with a free bucket of range balls and participate in our inaugural Longest Putt Contest to test your putting skills prior to the Challenge.
There will also be Closest-to-the-Pin Contest during the tournament. This event is limited to the first 36 golfers.
The Kickoff Party begins at 5:30 pm with a pep rally hour of music, cheers and Gator football highlights on every television.
Jungle Jim Green will provide some live alligators for Gator fans to hold and take pictures with. The club will also unveil its new “Spaceman Mascot” during the pep rally.
There will be a true “TailGator” buffet complete with grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, as well as pulled pork. All the fixings will be provided as well as a salad bar and side dishes.
