The 4th annual Maui Jim/Children's Home Charity Golf Classic is scheduled to take place on Monday, July 14, 2003 at the Peoria Country Club. This year's event will once again feature a special opportunity for the public-"Lotta Balls".

On the morning of the tournament, Maui Jim will drop 5,000 golf balls from a helicopter onto a fairway. There will be three flags in the drop zone and each one will represent a prize. The closest ball to each flag wins that prize! Cash prizes range from $1,000 to $2,500. Prior to the drop, one ball out of the 5,000 will be selected. If this is one of the five balls closest to the red flag, the person who purchased that ball will win $100,000! "Lotta Balls" can be purchased by the public for $10 a piece or three for $25. Cash, checks, and credit cards will be accepted. Only 5,000 will be sold, so get yours today! Orders must be placed by Thursday, July 10, 2003.

This year's golf outing will feature instructional clinics by Senior PGA Tour Pros Dave Stockton, Jim Ahern, and Dan Boever.
