About the FICPA Educational Foundation Annual Golf Classic:
The FICPA Annual Golf Classic was created to raise scholarship funds for Florida accounting students currently in their fourth or fifth year of college. This event continues to be one of our largest and most significant fundraisers for the Foundation.

Proven successful, the 2010 Annual Golf Classic will be held in conjunction with FABexpo in Tampa. This provides a terrific opportunity for CPAs, vendors, clients and friends to network and enjoy themselves while raising money to benefit the future of the CPA profession.

Feather Sound Country Club is located in Central Pinellas County with easy accessibility from Hillsborough County. This course is not your typical Florida design. With an open, airy, natural feel, there isn’t a place on the course where you feel surrounded by houses and condos, unlike most other area courses. Designed by Joe Lee, the par 72 course at Feather Sound plays like one of the longest 6,900-yard courses you’ve ever experienced. The dedicated golfer will appreciate the challenges offered in the well-guarded, elevated greens. By allowing the average player to swing away off the tee, and offering plenty of options, players of all skill levels can feel challenged and enjoy their game.
