Surfrider HB/SB Chairman and Golf Classic founder Tony Soriano said, "This is our second exciting year to bring the local businesses and surf community together for a fun day of golf to unwind and enjoy talking stories." The Hacktoberfest golfers will have a chance to meet Pro-Surfer Jeff Deffenbaugh, who is Surfrider HB/SB's Surf Ambassador, and surf artist Robb Havassy, the creator of "Surf Story"1 & 2. Huntington Beach City Mayor and Councilman Keith Bohr will be on hand, too.
Ricky Blake, who is a local Huntington Beach artist, provided the artwork for the event as a donation. Kohl's Department Stores is the Blanket sponsor of the Hacktoberfest and volunteers from each of its stores will be helping out at the event. Other sponsors include: Hurley, who donated money to purchase reusable "Rise Above Plastics" (RAP) Bags; The Wyland Foundation, Albertsons, Farmers and Merchants Bank, Volcom, Rip Curl, Waterfront Hilton, Shorebreak Hotel, and Fred's Mexican Cantina.
Matson Graphics, Surf City Art Co., Robb Havassy Art, Van's and OC Clothing Company also join in the ranks as raffle sponsors. Hacktoberfest Event Coordinator and Community Relations representative Gene Rascon said, "This event just reflects the growing interest of the local business and surf community in realizing the value of partnering to maintain and protect our great coastal resources".
A $75.00 tournament fee includes golf, a golf cart, barbeque dinner, and one souvenir custom T-shirt and raffle ticket. There will also be prizes for the top three teams, a silent auction and a raffle.
The golfers can have options to sign up individually or in 2-person or 4-person teams. The participants can create their own foursome or the Tournament will pair up the teams. It is limited to 72 players. Check-in time for the Hacktoberfest is 12 p.m. with a Meet and Greet. Play begins at 1 p.m. with a shotgun start.
