Then they select the best shot out of the 4 and hit from that spot on through till they finish the hole.
Registration at the Pro Shop patio will open at 6:30 a.m. All golfers must check in 20 minutes before tee time. Tee off is at 6:50 a.m. The box breakfast will be delivered to your golf cart if you chose to receive one on the registration form. The Club requires collared shirt and slacks.
