Santa Claus Open Coming to Town

The premiere holiday-season golfing event, benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, is set for Dec. 7 at the Hobe Sound Golf Club.

The festive afternoon on the links will get underway at 12:30 p.m. with a shotgun start. All participants are asked to donate an unwrapped toy for the organization’s “littles.” The tournament will be followed by dinner in the Hobe Sound Golf Club clubhouse. Prizes will be awarded, and there just might be a visit from the jolly old elf himself!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties pairs adult volunteers with needy children to offers companionship, mentoring and fun experiences.

Light Tackle Tournament Comes to Treasure Coast

The Stuart Sailfish Club will have its 59th-annual Light Tackle Invitational Sailfish Tournament on Dec. 6, the first of three days of championship fishing.

The yearly catch-and-release tournament starts out of Sailfish Marina in Port Salerno and draws anglers from all over the country, as well as Canada. There are two divisions: the Open Division and the Traditional Division. Both will have a professional angler aboard each participating boat.

The Dec. 6 kickoff party is sponsored by Fogel Capital Management, an advisory firm in the heart of downtown with a location on riverfront property in Stuart. The awards presentation will take place Dec. 9 at Mariner Sands.

Proceeds from the Small Boat Fishing Tournament benefit the Stuart Sailfish Club Scholarship Program.
