THE DOWNS GOLF FACILITY TO HOST CHARITY EVENT FOR DOWD FAMILY
On Tuesday evening, October 25th , the Downs Golf Practice Facility located at 11225 Race Track Road will host the “Night under the Lights with the Pros”, featuring several PGA and LPGA Tour professionals; including appearances by Rich Beem, John Daly, John Huston, Paul Azinger, Fred Funk, Brittany Lincicome and Dale Eggers. The evening event is co-sponsored by Golfers Guide, the Tampa Tribune, Razor Golf, T & D Golf and Tampa Bay Downs and is being held as a fund raiser for the Dakoda Dowd and her family.
Dakoda, the 12-year-old golf prodigy from Palm Harbor, is currently the highest ranked female golfer in her age group and a regular student of Matt Mitchell, instructor at the Downs. Her family is enduring a personal crisis with Kelly-Jo Dowd’s (Dakoda’s mother) ongoing battle with cancer and the fund will be put in place to help the family with medical expenses and with Dakada’s future golfing education.
The evening will kick off at 5:30pm with a $2,500 Hole in One Contest sponsored by T& D Golf plus a Chipping Contest sponsored by Razor Golf and a putting contest sponsored by Paradise Golf.
Special clinics and personal appearances by Rich Beem, John Daly, John Huston, Paul Azinger, Fred Funk, Brittany Lincicome and Dale Eggers will begin at 6:30pm with your chance to pick-up a tip or two from the pros.
Throughout the event golf demos by all the big names in golf clubs will take place on the tee line; with Titliest, Mizuno, Razor, Bridgestone, MacGregor all having swing and putting seminars.
To round out the golfing experience the Downs will host complimentary food demonstrations and tasting sponsored by Tampa Bay Downs, wine sampling sponsored by Grapevine Liquor (you must be at least 21 years of age to participate in this event) or take a stroll to the cigar lounge to have a hand at rolling the perfect stogie, and don’t forget to bring your appetite to the bar-be-que pavilion.
Make your plans now to bring out the family and friends for a “Night under the Lights with the Pros” and test your putting and chipping skills for a great cause.
