I've been working on this tournament all year. We are looking for golfers, sponsors and volunteers. This tournament is a blast ... helicopter dimple drop, all Par 3 have hole-in-one prizes, including a luxury car ... caddies ... a nice golf jacket ... games and prizes on other holes; and a plated awards dinner with live auction, silent auction and raffle prizes. Fantastic items to bid on".
