WCI Communities, the Bonita Springs-based lifestyle community developer and homebuilder, is offering unique ways for area golfers to support the United States Armed Forces during Labor Day weekend.

“Patriot Golf Day” extends Friday, Sept. 2 through Monday, Sept. 5, and benefits the Folds of Honor Foundation, which supports families of military personnel who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of duty. Last year’s effort raised nearly $17,000 for the foundation. Golfers will have a variety of tournament and event options throughout the weekend:

• Pelican Preserve Golf Club in Fort
  Myers is hosting closest-to-the-pin
  contests during Labor Day weekend,
  with half the entry fees distributed to contest winners and half
  benefitting the foundation.

• The Colony Golf & Country Club hosts its second annual Patriot Golf Day Tournament on Sept. 2 with a 9 a.m. shotgun start; the tournament concludes with an awards luncheon. Also, closest-to-the-pin contests are held on all four par-3 holes each Friday and Saturday during the month of September. Proceeds from each $5 entry fee benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation.

• Raptor Bay Golf Club in Bonita Springs hosts closest-to-the-pin contests each Friday and Saturday now through Sept. 5. Players can make a donation or purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win various prizes, including a two-night stay at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa or Hyatt Place Cocount Point.

• Hammock Bay Golf & Country Club in Naples hosts closest-to-the-pin contests during the Labor Day weekend for $20, with half the entry fees distributed to contest winners and half benefitting the foundation.

• Tiburón Golf Club in Naples starts the holiday weekend with an afternoon Nine & Wine two-ball couples event on Sept. 2, which includes a closest-to-the-pin contest, prizes, wine and hors d’oeuvres. For the cost of a round of golf and a $10 donation, golfers can take part on Sept. 3 in a flag tournament. Festivities conclude with a closest-to-the-pin contest Sept. 4 and two-person best-ball flag tournament Sept. 5.
  

• Venetian Golf & River Club in Venice hosts closest-to-the-pin contests throughout the Labor Day weekend on each of its four par-3 holes. All donations benefit the foundation.
