Logo provided by WFGTPlayers on the West Florida Golf Tour had the unique opportunity to compete for a brand-new Porsche, compliments of Suncoast Porsche, during Monday's event.
The prize came on a blustery day at the Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club in the form of a hole-in-one contest.
Nobody won the Porsche on No. 3, a par-3, but WFGT owner Carl Wakely was the closest with a shot that stopped 2 1/2 feet away.
The tour keeps picking up steam with another sponsored event coming Saturday with the Lynches Pub & Grub Open at the Longboat Key Club.
The tourney will have $200 added to the purse.
In between those two events, the WFGT trekked north for a visit to River Hills Country Club.
Marco Dawson outlasted Joe Monte on the fourth playoff to collect the $1,000 first-place check.
Both players carded even-par 72s, before facing off in the sudden-death playoff.
Dawson drained a 40-footer for birdie on the first extra hole. Monte then sank a 35-footer right after to extend the playoff.
The WFGT returns to Bradenton with a tournament at IMG Academies Golf & Country Club on Jan. 21.
Um, could somebody please let me know the next time a tournament is offering a Porsche as a prize? Thank you.
