What is it?
South Seas Resort is hosting a Saturday afternoon golf-ball drop with an only-in-Florida hook: hundreds of golf balls are scheduled to be dropped from a helicopter at 1 p.m.
If your ball lands as a hole-in-one or closest to the pin, you can win a cash prize.
Why this one jumps off the calendar
Most weekend listings are music, markets, or brunch. This one is a helicopter, a golf target, a cash-prize scramble, and a charity tie-in all packed into a two-hour Captiva event.
Visit Fort Myers lists the event as supporting Folds of Honor, which provides scholarships to families of fallen and disabled service members.
