J.I. 2007
Hello everybody!!!
We are very excited about this year's Jackson Invitational. We have a few newcomers who are new to the JI and on behalf of the Jackson's we'd like to welcome you to this year's event. We appreciate everybody sacrificing their Saturday morning for some friendly yet competitive golf. There are a few things to go over before hand. I know this should have gone out earlier this week so forgive us.
Tee times start at 7:40 so arrive accordingly (preferably around 7:15).
There is an individual competition where there will be a gross winner and a net winner, if you don't know what that means, I'm not sure how you got in this tournament.
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, Burke might be on the hot seat on #1, #5, #9, and #13. And Grant 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. (Please direct all strategy advice to Burke as no one but him make money from doing exactly that).
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 and throughout the round you will have the opportunity to get extra raffle tickets. This will be explained further Saturday morning.
How are we going to get all these prizes you might ask. Well, there is a $25 entrance fee in addition to the green fees. Those will need to be paid Saturday morning upon check in.
I also want to remind you that if you have something to donate, big or small, it is gladly accepted and adds to the fun post tournament.
Now to the important stuff. Teams and Colors. Last year we assigned short colors to go with it but this year it might be a little frigid so short/pant colors are recommended but not mandatory.

OK, sorry for the long email and I probably forgot something semi-important but there was a lot to cover. The attachment is the Official Invite you can print that off and put it in the scrapbook that I'm sure you've made for past, present, and future Jackson Invitationals.
Let's all have a lot of fun as that is what this is really for. We mixed up the groups so take advantage of getting to know someone you might not know all that well.
Bring a camera if you can and take photos. We have a website/blog at jacksoninvitational.blogspot.com.
Email me or call me (801) 787-9156 or Grant (801) 787-8050 with questions or comments.
