We are happy to say that our 12th Annual WA Hockey Golf Tournament is ON! With the current restrictions, there will be some differences, but we are able to keep a fair amount of the tournament the same. The date is Friday, September 11th, and is still a 9:00 AM shotgun start at Butter Brook.
Butter Brook is not able to have a tent this year, so we cannot do an after golf dinner. Instead, we will give all golfers a boxed lunch which includes a sandwich (turkey, roast beef or ham), chips, a pickle and watermelon. We are planning on having a station set up at the turn at 11:00 AM to pick up lunch on the way by. We will bring lunches out to those that may have already passed the turn. Butter Brook's kitchen will be open for anyone that wants to buy food to eat outside after golf.
We know that many people have been out of work, that many businesses have had to close temporarily, permanently, or have had a much reduced income, so we will not be actively soliciting sponsors or donations this year. We do hope to have a few raffles to have a little after golf fun and to keep it interesting. That said, if anyone would like to be a sponsor or donate a raffle item, we'd be happy to accept and give the same recognition as past tournaments (tee sign on tournament day, recognition on Sponsors' tab on WA Hockey website, etc.).
The only on course contests will be a closest to the pin and the longest drive. The putting contest is not going to happen this year.
We apologize for the differences this year. We are doing as much as we can to keep our tournament as close as possible to what everyone is used to and hope that you understand. We look forward to getting back to our usual tournament next year.
Two things to consider in deciding to play...because of the limited number of carts, it will have to be two players per cart. Depending on the number of golfers we have, there may be a very limited number of carts available if someone is truly uncomfortable with riding with another person. But, this will be a very limited number or carts and will be on a first come, first served basis (and only if extra carts are available). Also, with all the uncertainty and changes, we are not able to offer a WA hockey apparel golfers' gift this year. Because of this, we are dropping this year’s fee to $135 per player.
We've had good feedback that many previous players will play again this year. So that we can keep a fairly accurate count, please reply and let us know if you/your foursome are going to play. If so, PLEASE fill out and send in the attached flyer/registration form, along with payment to: WA Hockey Alumni Association, PO Box 685, Westford, MA 01886. Thank you!
This is a RAIN OR SHINE event. Unless Butter Brook closes the course, the tournament is on!
