Putt & Pub Crawl on Fort Myers Beach

On January 20, the Friends of Bay Oaks Recreation Center presented the 8th annual Putt & Pub Crawl in the Times Square area of Fort Myers Beach. Over 200 people, divided into teams of 4 each, competed in a game of mini-golf at nine holes designed and built by each host location. Along the way, there were drink specials, prize giveaways and raffle tickets. Everyone had a good time. Nothing was more entertaining than the teams themselves--they made their own fun.  

At the end of the competition was an Award Ceremony Dinner, when prizes were given for 1st and 2nd place, for the best-dressed team and for the best golf hole. Proceeds benefit community programs for school-age children, all the way up through seniors, at Bay Oaks Recreation Center.
