Second annual Café Coyote Historic Old Town Golf Classic

On Monday, March 17, the Chula Vista’s Salt Creek Golf Course will host the second annual Café Coyote Historic Old Town Golf Classic, a tournament that raises crucial funding needed for the Old Town Fourth Grade History Program. Thousands of fourth graders in the San Diego Unified School District took weeklong field trips to Old Town each year for four decades as part of their curriculum until funding for the program was cut in 2011.

In 2013, the first installment of the tournament raised enough money to send 12,000 local fourth graders on one-day field trips. This year, the San Diego Chamber hopes to raise $100,000 — twice last year’s amount — to fund field trips for 28,500 fourth graders from throughout San Diego County.

The tournament features a four-person best ball scramble, lunch on the course and a helicopter ball drop. PGA Hall of Famer Billy Casper will attend as the celebrity guest and dinner speaker. Registration begins at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start at 11 a.m. Tickets are $125 for individuals and $500 for four-person teams. Dinner is included, and a dinner-only option is available for $40.
