3rd Annual Leif Nissen Memorial Golf Tournament

Image by Geoff
**FINAL UPDATE / NOTES**
Tournament weekend is upon us.  Yes, the course is going to be quite wet, so hit them straight. We'll more than likely be playing cart-path only rules.

As for prizes:  Alison single-handedly solicited $3,000 in donations from various local businesses.  So we'll be giving out prizes to pre-determined flighted groups, as well as long drive and closest to pin competitions. We'll also have an extensive list of things for raffle which include: golf clubs, gift cards (Beefs, Rock N Sports, Hooters, Buca, World of Beer), dinner cruises, wine tasting parties, 4-some golf rounds at Westchase and Myrtle Beach National (S. Carolina).

Needless to say, we have a TON of stuff.  Bring lots of money for raffle tickets ($1 a ticket, $20 for a wingspan).  I hear Brie/April/Angie are making jello-shots for sale as well.  If you AREN'T golfing but want to come hang out, please do so.  I'm not sure how limited we'll be with getting extra carts to take out on the course... but you can always get drunk in the clubhouse.

See you all Sunday.

**You can now pay using the "BUY NOW" button (also on the side of the blog).  Select if you're paying for yourself, or your team.  Small internets transaction fee applies.**



Entry Fees




I think I re-name this event every year... but whatever.  It's back on, and we're returning to the Eagles to play the Forest Course.

Location: The Eagles Golf Club
Date: Sunday, August 29th
Time: 12:30pm check-in.  Don't be late.
Format: 4-man scramble
Cost: $140 per team ($35 per person)

Notes:
  • The roster will be listed here on the blog.  So let me know who is playing on which teams, and keep that list accurate.
  • There WILL be prizes. Bring a lot of money for raffle tickets.
  • We got in trouble for selling jello shots last year.  Expect us to attempt this again, so bring cash.
  • Don't crash the golf carts (Bito).
  • If you bring your own booze, be discrete about it (all DPT readers).
Let me know if you have any questions. I'll update this throughout the next couple of months.

Geoff said...

Hey Gorecki! Where the hell are our prizes from last year you hoarded to yourself???

Chandler said...

You guys got the beer making kit last year, right? I'm pretty sure Gorecki is going to use it as the "open bar" at his wedding.

M. Gorecki said...

lol, I still do have that homebrew kit... STILL IN THE BOX! You think the ingredients are still good? In the words of Svedka, F-it, I'll brew it now and we'll tap it at the tourney!

And I tried talking my venue into allowing "outside alcohol" (ie the owner of tampa bay brewing was going to bring 2 kegs of his brew to the wedding reception) but they said its illegal, so we r stuck with their 5 hours of open bar. SO SORRY! :P

Chris said...

I need a team to drag down...

YellowBird said...

I need a team too. Should we join forces?

April (tall) said...

If you need a 4th person I'll play.

Geoff said...

We have five on our team right now if someone needs one more, we can draw straws

Chandler said...

Geoff said...

~Marla~ said...

I agree. Great logo, Geoff!!

Geoff said...

Thanks ladies! But we're going to need to raffle off one of our players...

Chandler said...

Matt P. is putting a team together. I think depending on Frank or something he might have one spot open for the 5th 'Ballic. He told me about it but I was already on the sauce so I don't remember.
