The
Hardee County Chamber of Commerce 2nd
Annual Golf Tournament, October 7, 2006 was by all
standards a great success. The support of the
tournament is not counted in dollars and cents but
in the "spirit of community" and is what allows the
Chamber to reach its goals of supporting its
membership and promoting the county. The sponsorship
of the tournament as well as the players helped make
the tournament a great success. Thirty-five teams
teed off at the Bluffs Golf Course and had a
beautiful “Chamber of Commerce” day.
