Next week’s event is Partner with a Pro Playing in the Masters event, sponsored by Alberni Chrysler Ltd. This event will be an individual competition. The format is as follows: when you come into the clubhouse on Sunday morning, pick two names out of a hat. You take the best gross score of the two players, add it to your net, and that’s your final score in our event.
The entry fee for the day is $12, which includes the charity closest to the pin and all four par 3’s. Gentlemen, please observe the COVID-19 protocols and use the hand sanitizer before and after you touch the marker.
The money pot will also be available, for an extra $2. Just make sure you record your name before you play and don’t forget to mark your birdies on the sheet when you come in.
Remember to fill your cards out completely, that means gross score handicap and net score.
Book your own tee time in your own group, starting at 7:30 a.m. and running until 11 a.m.
Stay safe and healthy.
