WHAT:
|
|
|
Michael Allen, one of the world's best golfers and defending
champion of the Mississippi Golf Resort Classic, successfully guided
a golf ball over 150 yards of water and hit a floating "green" in
the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday afternoon from the three-story-high
pool deck of a luxury resort hotel.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small crowd of fans, dignitaries and observers cheered him on as
Allen's tee shot from the tropical pool deck of Beau Rivage Resort &
Casino soared over the ultimate water hazard as part of presenting
sponsor C Spire's "Blue Greens" Challenge sweepstakes, which the
company is using to help kick off of the 2014 PGA Champions Tour
event.

Allen, who landed a ball on the 28-foot floating "green" anchored
offshore in the Mississippi Sound on his second attempt, wasn't
the only winner. Contestant Larita Campos of Picayune, who was
selected in an earlier random drawing, won a grand prize valued at
over $15,700, including a Moto X smartphone, one year of wireless
service and a 2014 Yamaha (News - Alert) VX Cruiser Wave Runner. C Spire also
donated $15,000 to the Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi
Gulf Coast, the tournament's primary non-profit charitable
beneficiary.
