The CaddyHack Golf Festival will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Monday, Aug. 3, at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. Known as \u201cthe funnest round of golf on the planet,\u201d CaddyHack has become one of Southern California\u2019s most unique charity events, raising more than $2.5 million over the past decade to support Boys to Men Mentoring and the thousands of boys the organization serves throughout San Diego County.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event will feature entertainment from 25 live bands, activations and contests on every hole, and more than 40 food and beverage vendors. Golfers are encouraged to come dressed in loud and wacky outfits to take part in one wild and fun round of golf. Every year, event founder and local native Ernie Hahn dresses up like the character Judge Smails from \u201cCaddyshack\u201d.<\/p>\n

The event will again return to Fairbanks Ranch, the club where Hahn worked as a caddy one summer in high school.<\/p>\n
