Golfers of all abilities have the opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of golf at a championship golf course — while also helping to clean up pollution in New Bedford Harbor — at the Buzzards Bay Coalition’s annual Golf Outing on Monday, October 16 at The Bay Club in Mattapoisett.

All proceeds from the Golf Outing will go into a dedicated fund to support the cleanup of nitrogen pollution — Buzzards Bay’s largest pollutant — in New Bedford Harbor.

For golfers, this event is an opportunity to enjoy the private Bay Club’s parkland-style 7,000-yard course, which was designed by PGA Tour professional Brad Faxon in conjunction with golf course architect Brad Booth. With 88 percent of its 625 forested acres preserved, The Bay Club is the only Certified Silver Audubon Signature Sanctuary in Massachusetts.

The tournament is “choose your own” format (best ball or scramble) with registration and practice at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at noon.

Registration is $250 for individuals or $1,000 for a foursome. Registration includes 18 holes of golf, greens fees, cart rental, tournament gift, boxed lunches, beer and snacks on the course, and an after-party reception at the renowned Golf House Restaurant. The reception will include cocktails, light fare, silent auction and awards and prizes.

Not a golfer? Enjoy the festivities and support clean water by purchasing a $35 ticket to the cocktail party reception, which begins at 5 p.m.

Register or purchase tickets online at www.savebuzzardsbay.org/golf or at the Buzzards Bay Coalition office at 114 Front Street, New Bedford.

Tournament and tee sponsorship opportunities are also available for companies who want to show their support for the environment. For more information, contact events@savebuzzardsbay.org or (508) 999-6363.
