PUTTING IN THE DARK

While there are many golf tournaments in central Arkansas, this event is unlike any other because it features a special opportunity to directly connect with the mission of the host organization. Little Rock On the Links will feature Putting in the Dark, an opportunity for players to test their golf skills without utilizing their sight. While putting, participants will wear a pair of glasses that simulates what it is like to be blind. A guide will use auditory cues to direct them to the hole.

Prizes will be awarded for:

• First Place Overall: $100 to the Pleasant Valley Country Club Pro Shop
• Second Place Overall: $75 to the Pleasant Valley Country Club Pro Shop
• Third Place Overall: Golf Balls
• Longest Drive: $50 to Outback Steakhouse
• Closest to the Hole: $50 to Outback Steakhouse

Registration is open now and will run through the day of the event. To register online, visit https://ifbsolutions.org/event/little-rock-on-the-links-golf-tournament/.
