Mighty Mussels to tee up a new sport at ‘Golf Night’ on April 18
The Minor League team that calls Fort Myers home will serve as the 19th hole for a new themed night at the park.
The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels are set to host the team’s inaugural Golf Night on April 18, when Hammond Stadium will serve as the 19th hole for golfers and baseball fans across Southwest Florida.
“Many people consider Southwest Florida the golf capital of the U.S., and our Golf Night comes just a few days after The Masters at Augusta National,” said John Martin, managing partner of the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels, in a release. “We’re hoping fans show up sporting plaid knickers, knee-high socks and tam o’shanter caps to really get in the spirit.”
Mussels officials state fans will be treated to giveaways galore, including vouchers for rounds of golf being awarded every inning. Guests of all ages can compete in contest to win Mighty Mussels swag, tickets to a future Mighty Mussels game and other prize packages. Golfers are encouraged to wear their wildest, wackiest golf attire to compete in the Best-Dressed Golfer competition. Hammond Stadium’s concession stands also will offer food and drink specials throughout the evening, and local golf pros will be on hand to dispense advice.
Gates open at 5 p.m., with first pitch at 6:05.
Tickets start at $12 at the Hammond Stadium box office or online at MightyMussels.com.
Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex is at 14400 Six Mile Cypress Parkway in Fort Myers.
