The Nanticoke Health Foundation will host its 32ND annual golf tournament on Thursday, September 20 and Friday, September 21 at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville, Delaware. Thursday’s tournament will be Ladies Day, and Friday’s tournament will be the traditional tournament open to men and women. The tournaments will consist of 18 holes with four-person teams utilizing a handicapped scramble format. Participants will enjoy a fun-filled day at Heritage Shores, an Arthur Hills classic links-style course. Both days will consist of practice, 18-holes of golf, delicious food, and gross and net team prizes. Again this year, WBOC will host the Helicopter Ball Drop fundraiser. For this event, pre-numbered golf balls are sold to the public, loaded into Chopper 16, and then dropped onto the driving range of the Heritage Shores golf course at the start of the Open Day tournament on Friday, September 21. The ball that lands in the hole first or is closest to the hole wins half of money collected. You do not need to be present to win. Golf balls and additional avenues of supporting the tournaments include eagle, birdie and par levels of sponsorship, as well as tee signs and Pink Link sponsorships can be purchase online at nanticoke.org/golf or by contacting the Nanticoke Health Foundation at 302-536-5390 or mailto:FioriC@nanticoke.org.
