ECBC ANNOUNCES 1st ANNUAL "LIVE STRONG" GOLF TOURNAMENT
Raven Golf Course at Sandestin The ECBC will host the 1st Annual "Live Strong" Golf Tournament on Wednesday, June 22 starting at noon. Proceeds from the $200 per player entry fee will be donated to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Lance Armstrong Foundation

"When your host resort features four championship courses, a golf tournament is a natural," said Chris Miller, ECBC Tournament Director, "and we're particularly pleased to annouce the Lance Armstrong Foundation as our newest ECBC charity recipient."

Raven Golf Course at Sandestin The tournament takes place on the Raven Golf Club at Sandestin, a course masterfully carved through the marshes, wetlands and pine trees of Sandestin. Robert Trent Jones Jr. crafted this unique and visually stunning 6,900-yard par 71 into what he calls "a true modern traditional."

There are still some corporate sponsorships available. To inquire about sponsorship, register, or for additional information about the tournament, call Susan Layman at 850.267.7791 or email susanlayman@sandestin.com.
