96 Degrees In The Shade! Real Hot In The Shaaaade. 

At 6:30 am, while getting the course ready for the 4th Annual William Tanner Golf Tournament, some of us had the pleasure of observing a red tail fox making its way across the dew covered fairway on hole number three in pursuit of the morning's glory. The heat associated with the rising eight o'clock sun served as a sound reminder that summer was upon us and it was going to be a hot one. This is Golfbytez' second year covering this event which is hosted by the men and women from the FSU Police Department at the Don Veller Seminole Golf Course and the proceeds from the funds raised goes towards a very worthy cause. Golfers have made this pilgrimage for years and this June 3rd was no exception from the overwhelming response from members of the golfing community traveling from far and wide. This event was named after the department's first police chief William Tanner who himself was a golfer until he had to retire his clubs because of back trouble. 

     Golfers [photos above] registering and receiving their goodie bags, and sometimes an affectionate choke hold (by a friend unable to contain his excitement) prior to the commencement speech and prayer starting the shot gun style tournament. 

   Jimmy [TL] and A.J. [TR] are two of the golf course's Player Hosts and seen here assisting golfers before tee time. 

Randy [TL] and members of the FSUPD Tournament staff [TR] pose for a photo after registration. Herb and Chief Perry [BL] and fellow golfers [BR] take a moment to give thanks before the golfers were ushered to their respective tee locations.
