Golf lovers rejoice. LPGA Hall of Famers like Nancy Lopez, Amy Alcott and defending tournament champ Nancy Scranton are coming to Delray Beach in November. The Legends Tour is making a stop at the Seagate Country Club on Nov. 6-9 for the Walgreens Charity Championship.

The roster of 48 LPGA Tour legends will include Florida golfers Beth Daniel, Meg Mallon, Laurie Rinker, JoAnne Carner, Judy Dickinson, Lorie Kane, Marilyn Lovander, Nancy Scraton and Jan Stephenson.
But the fun isn’t just for them. You can take part in the festivities too. On Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., there’s the Walgreens Balance Rewards On-course Walk. You can follow the LPGA Legends on the back nine and earn Walgreens’ Balance Rewards points. The nearly two-mile walk should require from 4,000 to 5,000 steps, according to the website.
To participate, register on the day of the walk at the Walgreens tent, where you’ll be issued a pedometer. Every step you take on the back nine will earn points redeemable toward Walgreens’ in-store purchases. You’ll go through checkpoints and finish at The Legends Tour merchandise tent. Present your tournament ticket and check point verifications, and you’ll also get a Legends’ branded gift.
Walgreens will also be having a Healthy Living and Wellness Expo at the tournament and will be offering free health screenings and product samples.
Golf tournament tickets are on sale at Florida Walgreens’ locations. Daily passes are $10 if purchased in advance or $15 at the gate. Admission is free on Friday, when local professionals qualify and for the practice rounds.
Ticket proceeds go to the Dan Marino Foundation, Achievement Centers for Children & Families and Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse.
The Seagate Country Club is located at 3600 Hamlet Drive, Delray Beach. For more on The Legends Tour and local tournament, visit thelegendstour.com.
