We need one more team!

We need one more team (3 players) for the Trash Bash this weekend. If you know anyone that can play, even if it's just one person, please let us know so we can try to form that final 8th team.

Trash Bash Format

We currently have 5 teams signed up.
6 teams works best, 8 teams is OK also.
If you are the 7th team, you will need to bring team #8 in with you.
This is purely based on format issues, because match play requires another team to play against. 7 teams means someone will have to sit out every six holes, and even then it will get extremely complicated.

Hickory Hills Work Day

We're organizing a clean-up day on Thursday to get Hickory looking nice for the big tournament this weekend. We will be starting around 10am, and should be there most of the day. We need all of the help we can get, even if it's just for an hour. Some folks have said they will be showing up in the evening after work, so if that's an option for you, we'd love to see you there.

Ace Pool rules

Just a reminder to all...

The same rules will apply as last year. The ace pool will be capped at $300, and all extra money will be put into the next pool.

Also, if a "cali" hits an ace on his second tee shot, he still takes 100% of the ace pool.
