"Beat The Pro" is KFMB TV’s annual charity fundraiser that takes place on Saturdays throughout the summer (6/5-8/14, excluding 7/3) at various San Diego golf courses throughout the county. For a minimum $3.00 donation to the Boys & Girls Foundation, golfers can try to beat our celebrity pro and win great prizes. All golfers who beat our celebrity pro’s distance to the pin will receive a Local 8 visor. The golfer who is closest to the pin at the end of each weekly event will receive a $100.00 gift certificate to the pro shop of that week’s course (or rounds of golf) and the chance to compete in our "Beat The Pro Championship" against the nine other weekly winners for great prizes, including a 2-year lease for a 2004 Buick Rainier, courtesy of the San Diego Buick Dealers. Plus, just for signing up to participate, golfers will receive a "Beat The Pro" golf towel and golf ball.

All golfers must be playing a regular round of golf at that week’s golf course and reach our designated hole between 10am-2pm in order to be eligible to participate. KFMB TV will be on hand to videotape each golfer, and the results will be broadcast on Local 8 News the following Sunday night at 11pm. In addition, each golfer’s donation will be matched by our "Beat The Pro" sponsors -- making each $3.00 donation really a $27.00 donation (with eight sponsors) to the Boys & Girls Foundation.

Celebrity golfers are still being selected at this time, however we plan to include World Class runner Steve Scott, Zeke Moreno and other San Diego Chargers players, Brian Russell, former Aztec QB and current DB for the Vikings, as well as members from the San Diego Padres and Gulls – to name just a few. Be sure and watch Local 8 News each Wednesday night at 6pm (6/2 - 8/11, excluding 6/30) for a preview of that week’s "Beat The Pro" golf course and celebrity!
