Welcome!

We know that we wanted to have tournaments again but we cannot due to COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we started to see signs of some normally returning but in a different ways.

This is a special "one time" tournament that NEDDG is hosting for you in order for you to understand how to participate the tournament in safe ways during the time of pandemic. This practice will be used in the future until viable vaccine treatment are available to us all.

This is One-Day Event with Two Rounds of 20 Holes.

We are CAPPING this event up to 25 players in total.

All Divisions will include Player's Package that are valued over $25!!
