Myerlee Golf and Country Club in south Fort Myers is hosting a golf tournament at 9 a.m. today to benefit the family of Fort Myers police officer Andrew Widman, who was recently killed in the line of duty.
The country club has partnered with the south Fort Myers Moose Lodge to organize the event.
"The entire amount goes to the Widman family and it's just $50 to play," said Ed Legola, the event spokesperson. "The club is going to pay for everything else as a service to the community."
The idea to host the event came from Moose Lodge members who play golf regularly at the course.
"The guys at the Moose are great because they know the importance of helping the community," Legola said.
Players will get to use the club's golf carts, course and golf pro. Legola hopes the tournament will also bring awareness about the course's offerings.
"You don't have to be a member to play here and some people just don't know that we are here," said Legola about the club that is nestled off Winkler Road.
"We also have a 60-par course so you won't get exhausted playing our 18 holes."
