Players Pack
TBD

Exact player pack costs will be taken out of the entry fee, nothing more! Our goal is to keep those costs around $15-20 per event. In the event our costs are less, the difference will be put into payouts.

Player Pack Opt Out
We're going to keep it going this year and give all amateur players the option to opt out of a players pack for a $15 discount off their entry fee!

The player with the lowest total score from the first 3 holes will be the winner. If the total score is still tied after 3 holes, the players tied will play sudden death, alternating the tee order, until a victor is crowned.
