Announcements for Friday, July 16th
The welcoming committee welcomes all the participants. We are just a couple of days away and there are a number of players that think this is their year to win the tournament. So good luck to everyone.
There is an individual competition where there will be a gross winner and a net winner. There is also a team competition called "The Hot Seat". This is a game where you take the two best scores on a hole. The catch is that one of the scores has to be the person on the hot seat. You are on the hot seat every fourth hole. For example, Schafer might be on the hot seat on #1, #5, #9, and #13. And Tyler would take #2, #6, #10 etc. You have to take every fourth hole so there might be some strategizing to take advantage of certain players strengths. The order must be designated before teeing off on the 1st tee, on your honor. The last two holes will just be your two best balls. There will also be two closest to the holes and one long drive competition.
Also, there is going to be a raffle at the end.How does it all work? Well, there is a $25 entrance fee in addition to the green fees. Those will need to be paid Saturday morning upon check in. We also want to encourage everyone to make a donation of you'd like, big or small. Anything would be gladly accepted and will add to the post-tournament fun. We will give some of the donations away for prizes and the others we will raffle off at the end.
We appreciate everyone that has donated this year and in the past. We use the donations as prizes and for the raffle at the end to make it fun for people to possibly win a prize. We will not have a professional photographer out there to capture moments throughout the day, so we encourage everyone to bring a camera and take photos and video to add to the post tournament slideshow that we'll post on the site.Instructions for the contests will be handed out at check in.
After the tournament we will head directly to the Murphy residence for the post game awards and celebration. All are invited and we will have some drinks and figure and something to eat.
The team colors seem to be a big hit and so we’ll continue with that tradition. We will get the teams and colors out soon so you can find a collared shirt of your team’s color.
