Foursomes and individual golfers can register now for this day at Wee Burn Country Club in Darien. 

Proceeds support The Maritime Aquarium’s efforts to connect cash-strapped schools that need subsidies for Aquarium programs and for busing. Even more enticing is the chance to win a 2016 BMW 228i xDrive Convertible made available by BMW of Darien and valued at $38,000. 

Sink a hole-in-one on Wee Burn’s par-three seventh hole and drive home in the luxury sports-car. Two other holes have prizes during the Aquarium event: two roundtrip airlines tickets for anywhere in the continental U.S.; and a $500 Callaway gift card. 

The Maritime Golf Classic includes carts, a barbecue lunch, refreshments, post-play hors d’oeuvres and dinner, a silent auction and other prizes. Registration and bag drop begins at 10:30 a.m. and lunch opens at 11 a.m., with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start. 

Opportunities range from $10,000 as naming sponsor with two foursomes and two hole sponsorships to $1,000 as an individual player or $1,000 as a hole sponsor. Chairman of the Golf Classic is Charlie Hinnant of Rowayton, a member of the Aquarium’s Board of Advisors.
