In addition to 1^st/2^nd/3^rd place prizes (dollar level determined by the number of tournament players) we’ll have a longest drive in the fairway prize ($25.00) on a specific hole as well as a closest to the flag prize ($25.00) on a specific par 3 hole. Longest drive and closest to the flag will be announced after all players have completed round. All players use the white tees. All prizes other than 50/50 are credits at the Pro Shop.
