The Citrus County Builders Association (CCBA) will host the Jim Blackshear Memorial Golf Outing as a Parade of Homes Kickoff Classic at the Inverness Golf & Country Club on Saturday, March 10, 2012.

The Golf Outing, in its 23^rd year, is open to all amateur golfers and is a favorite event of the CCBA due to regularly changing golf courses each year that aid in keeping the outing interesting and challenging for returning golfers. It was renamed in honor of Jim Blackshear, a founder of the CCBA, after his passing in 2004 and this year the Jim Blackshear Memorial Golf Outing will also donate a portion of the proceeds to well known local child advocacy center and 501c3 non-profit “Jessie’s Place”.

Registration will begin at 7am with a shotgun start at 8am. Cost is $60.00 per player which includes greens fees, carts, a free Mulligan ticket and a BBQ Chicken buffet lunch. Foursomes save $5.00 per person at a low cost of $220 per team. Additional Mulligans will be available for sale and are also used for door prize tickets. Player & Sponsor registrations are now open online at www.CitrusBuilders.com or by stopping by the CCBA office at 1196 S Lecanto Hwy, Lecanto Florida 34461 anytime Monday thru Thursday, 9am – 5pm.  For more information about the Jim Blackshear Memorial Golf Outing or the Citrus County Builders Association please visit the CCBA on the web or call Executive Officer Donna Bidlack at (352) 746-9028.
