Five Longboat Key town officials took a swing at raising money for the Bayfront Park revitalization project.

During Ocean Properties Ltd.’s annual charity golf tournament Oct. 15, the officials took turns putting on three holes on the Longboat Key Club’s putting green. Each hole-in-one earned $1,000. A two putt was worth $500, and a three putt was worth $250.

Overall, the town received $10,000 from Ocean Properties to go toward the revitalization of Bayfront Park. 

Ocean Properties also donated a total of $300,000 to eight charities through the tournament.
