Every September, professional firefighters/golfers, (including retirees) from all around the country and Canada get together in a different city to trade hats, shirts, and war stories and play some golf! It is a 3-day tournament for golfers of all abilities. You can enter as a four-man team, two-man team, or individuals. (Individuals will be flighted). The package includes 3-days of golf, three breakfasts, three lunches, and three sit down dinners, (including a final night awards banquet), nightly hospitality rooms, lots of prizes and awards, and tons of fun! This year‘s package is $374 plus lodging per player. $134 per/night. (Two Bedroom Villas- 4 people = $34 per person per night) Spouses are also welcome at a non-golfer rate. Last September we were in Washington D.C. This September our tournament will be at the Legends Golf Resort in Myrtle Beach, Sep. 23-25, 2019.
