CHARLESTON, SC - The Charleston RiverDogs will host their 4th Annual "Fun Is Good" Golf Tournament on Tuesday, May 19, at Wild Dunes Resort's Harbor Course to benefit the Medical University of South Carolina's Storm Eye Institute. The event is sponsored by Q104.5 and 94.3 WSC-FM.

Beginning with a 1 pm shotgun start, the four-man Captain's Choice format features the traditional RiverDogs twist for nine holes with "Fun Is Good" being the theme and the other nine holes will adhere to the "serious and competitive" side of golf.

During the RiverDogs' "Fun Is Good" nine holes, there will be opportunities like getting massages from nuns, using a bat as a putter, dressing like Mrs. Doubtfire and hitting at kegs in the fairway to win free beer.

"We certainly feel that Fun IS good and in these times having fun is more important then ever," said Events Director Melissa McCants. "This tournament not only offers a day of entertainment it provides an afternoon of business networking."

Prizes will be provided for first, second and third places, and in typical RiverDogs fashion, there will be prizes (like a goldfish, a block of ice, a can of spam or a watermelon) for last place.

The $500/team entry fee includes green and cart fees, range balls, unlimited beverages, lunch, awards ceremony and dinner. Manager Torre Tyson and current RiverDogs players will be among those golfing. Individuals can join in the action for $125, and for $350 any local business can become a hole sponsor for the event.

For registration or additional information, please contact Melissa McCants at (843) 723-7241 or log on to www.riverdogs.com.
