(Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands –
Friday 20th September 2019) The Cayman Islands National
Festival, Pirates Week is less than two months away and organisers
are pleased to announce the Pirates Week Charity Golf Classic is
back! This annual sporting event doubles as a fundraiser and
encourages teams to play for some very high stakes including a
brand-new car, while being entertained by swashbuckling pirates along
the fairway.

The tournament set for Friday, 25th
October at the North Sound Golf Course, is geared toward corporate
teams and registration fees will assist in raising much needed funds
for Meals on Wheels Cayman. 

The event will feature teams of four
players competing in a ‘scramble’ format. Each member of the team
tees off from the starting hole and the best shot is selected by the
team. Play will continue from this point, until one player secures
the ball in the hole. 

This year Trac Automotive have
partnered with the tournament as the Automotive sponsor and are
offering a brand new Changan CS35 SUV for any player who sinks a hole
in one during the tournament.

“This exciting tournament is open to
everyone and golfers of all skill levels are encouraged to
participate. The addition of a new car as the ‘Hole in One’
prize has certainly upped the stakes and has created a buzz among our
corporate teams. The funds raised for Meals on Wheels depends
heavily on the number of teams who sign up and Meals on Wheels as we
know, provides hot nutritious meals to the most vulnerable in our
society while helping Cayman’s seniors maintain their independence
at home. We’re really looking forward to a thrilling afternoon
while raising funds for this worthy cause,” said event coordinator,
Anna Keating.

Team entry is CI$1,000 and includes
green fees, cart rental, buffet dinner and participant goodie bag.
Registration deadline is Friday, 11th October.

There are even more great prizes to be
won including Cayman Airways gift vouchers for the winning team, a
treasure trove of spot prizes for the Longest Drive, Closest to the
Pin and Chip to the Ship among other competitions, all in the name of
raising money for our charity partners.

"Meals on
Wheels is thrilled to be selected as the charity who benefits from
the Pirates Week Golf Classic. Every dollar raised goes towards
helping to end hunger for some of Cayman's most vulnerable seniors.
We are so thankful to Melanie McField and the Pirates Week
Coordinators for their support and we encourage the Corporate
Community to get involved to help make the Pirates Week Golf Classic
a huge success." 

“This year’s Charity Golf Classic
promises to be a lot of fun. It’s about bringing people together to
celebrate what Cayman has to offer and providing another great
opportunity for people to show their community spirit while having
fun. Pirates Week truly has something for everyone to enjoy,” said
Pirates Week General Manager, Melanie McField. 

There
are a number of ways to participate and companies interested in
registering a team or sponsoring this event are asked to contact
