Registration: The registration fee is $185 per person. The fee covers your participation, green fees, golf cart rental, and a $100 tax deductible charitable donation to Red String.
Format: The tournament will follow a Step-Aside Scramble format. A Step-Aside Scramble is a four-person team event in which each player hits his/her tee shot and the best shot is selected. The player whose shot is selected steps aside for the next shot. All other players then play the next shot from the position of the selected ball, placing or dropping within one club length of the original ball’s position (and within six inches on the putting green), no nearer the hole. The same procedure is used on all shots, including putts. The process continues until the ball is holed and starts over at the next hole. All players tee off on every hole.
When dropping or placing the ball, the ball must stay in its original condition of play. For example, you cannot drop a ball from the rough into the fairway. When the ball is holed, that is the official score counted for the team.
Threesomes follow the above format, but for the 4th player on each team, the players will rotate hitting a 2nd shot for the entire hole.
This format allows teams to leverage the strengths of individual players and strategize together to achieve the best possible outcome on each shot. We encourage you to gather your fellow golf enthusiasts and form a team to make this event even more exciting. If you're an individual player, don't worry! We will happily assign you to a team.
Additional Activities: Aside from the main tournament, we will also have a closest to the pin contest on the four par 3 holes (two on the front nine, and two on the back). Entry fee for the contest is $5 cash only. Fee will be collected at the tournament check-in table. Each Par 3 will have a winner. Winners of the contest will split the pot.
After-Event Get Together: After the golf event, from 12pm - 3pm, we have arranged a No-Host After-Tournament Get-Together at Slater's 50/50 for anyone who is interested in coming. Please come join us to enjoy some good food, fun, friendly banter, and unwind, Slater's will donate 20 percent of all proceeds from food orders (dine-in or takeout) to Red String.
