CELEBRITY GOLF CLASSIC EVENT-
May 3 and 4, 2009 - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic is a first class event filled with great food, beautiful surroundings, challenging golf, exciting entertainment, many networking opportunities with the “who’s who” of the North Florida community, and it’s all for a great cause.  The annual event is held the first Sunday and Monday of May.  Sunday evening a celebrity dinner and auction is held at the exclusive Ponte Vedra Inn with approximately 500 in attendance.  A Florida landmark since its celebrated opening in 1928, this 300-acre oceanfront resort located in fashionable Ponte Vedra Beach is a perfect refuge for recreation, relaxation, romance, and reflection.  On Monday morning the golf classic takes place at Marsh Landing Country Club and is followed by lunch and a short awards ceremony.  The golf course designed by Arnold Palmer’s design partner, Ed Seay weaves through pockets of intracostal marshes and towering pines that provide a home to an extraordinary array of wildlife.
