PLAYERS' MEETING:

All information will be sent to players via email prior to the tournament. Please ensure you are at your starting hole, at the correct course, at least 5 minutes prior to your tee time. Penalties will be assessed to players who are late to the tee.

There will be an optional in-person players meeting / gathering on Friday evening at Nicholas Sheran Park at 7pm.
