Lakewood Ranch's Corey Flynn lined up his practice putt, and gently stroked the ball, missing the hole by a bit.

Flynn wasn't worried about it, though, because on this day, scores simply weren't the primary goal.

Flynn was in the field for the 3Form Fitness Charity Golf Tournament held Sept. 9 at the Legacy Golf Club in Lakewood Ranch.

The tournament was raising money for the Mark Wandall Foundation, The Haven and Nate's Honor Animal Rescue.

Even so, Flynn, who said he has played golf since he could walk, wanted to shoot a nice round.

"I always have a club in my hand, even at work," Flynn said.
