We look forward to providing a very competitive and fun event. We have made a few adjustments to this year's event to help with social distancing and Covid-19 Guidelines. A few highlights are as follows:

 

  • This year's event will consist of tee times off the 1st and 10th Tee.
  • We will have 24 team and 1hr and 50 minutes of tee times off both tees from 9am to 10:50am.
