C Spire to Tee off 2015 Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic with Spectacular Golf Shot by Defending Champion Jeff Maggert


Professional golfer Jeff Maggert, defending champion of the Mississippi Golf Resort Classic, will attempt to guide a golf ball over a beach front highway and hit an airborne target overlooking a new 10 ½-acre waterfront entertainment space alongside the Gulf of Mexico.

The shot over the ultimate hazard will be attempted on Wednesday, March 25 at 1 p.m. from the tropical pool deck of Harrah's Gulf Coast as part of presenting sponsor C Spire's "Blue Greens" Challenge sweepstakes to help kick off of the 2015 PGA Champions Tour event.

If Maggert hits the airborne target with a golf ball on at least one of his 10 shot attempts, a contestant selected in a random drawing will win a grand prize valued at over $15,700, including an LG G3 smartphone, one year of wireless service and a 2015 Yamaha (News - Alert) VX Cruiser Wave Runner and trailer. C Spire also will donate $5,000 to the Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the tournament's primary non-profit charitable beneficiary.
