Had a brief phone conversation last week with John Gondak (who also spoke on behalf of the NLC) about the golf outing and here's what we're planning to do this year (If you're on this distribution list and are not golfing please disregard) in hopes of optimizing donor contributions:- Want to "buy" your team - $20 per head ($80 per team), if not the random drawwill continue to take place on Friday night (please contact John or myselfprior to arriving Friday night with your intentions so we can create balancedteams (with A, B-D players).- Each team can buy four, "foot long" strings to be used on the green - cost will be$10 per string- Each team can buy four Mulligans at $10 per Mulligan BUT the same player can notuse more than one Mulligan (they can be used anywhere on the courseand they are not team Mulligans - again, one per player)- Putting contest starts at 12:15 on the putting green - 3 putts, $10 (winner receives$100 gift certificate at the clubhouse - there will only be one winner, if morethan one person makes a putt, there will be a "putt-off" - if no one sinks itthe Endowment fund wins...)- Chipping contest starts at 12:30 at the driving range - 3 chips, $10 (winner receives$100 gift certificate at the clubhouse - there will only be one winner, if morethan one person chips in the beer bucket, there will be a "chip off" - if noone chips it in the bucket, the Endowment fund wins - if it actually lands inthe bucket and bounces out, it will be considered good!- We will attempt a skins game (sorry Scats game to be correct, according to Black)$40 per team, where if your team has the best score on a hole, you win ascat (sp?-who really cares!). At the end of the round after half of the pot isdonated to the fund, the remaining winnings will be divided by the numberof scats and distributed to the teams who actually won the scats.- "Buy up to the red tees" on hole number 5 - $40 per team- Skill awards (closest to the pin, Longest Drive, Longest Putt) will continue to begiven (at no additional charge!)- The "CUP" will live on, even with the asterisks....

This Year's Rules Straight From the Founder!
Final Preparations are underway, and the hard decisions have been made. Thankfully, not by me, but by the Founder himself, Clark Haley. Taking all factors into account, he made the tough call to continue last year's format of allowing the "extra" games and additions. He really doesn't take this lightly and regrets that the tourney can't be a straight golf tourney. Let's all support him in this decision and have a grand ole time at this year's thrashing of the Elks Club Course!
