� Your Name
� Your Division

Also, please pre-register with the name you are going to check in with. For example: if you pre-register as William Smith and check in as Billy Smith it has the proven potential to screw up the registration.
Note: even if you have pre-registered, you must check in with the TD Friday evening or Saturday morning to fill out your leader board card, sign the Waiver of Liability form and, if you want, enter the ace pots.
Late Registration: Friday May 5th from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Bud Hill Club House. Saturday May 6th from 7:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. at the course pavilion at Meeman Shelby Forest.

The TD will not delay the start of the player�s meeting and subsequent tee times because someone overslept.
Players Package: Only Amateur competitors will receive a Players Package which will consist of, at a minimum, a custom artwork disc. Additional items may be added at the sole discretion of the Club.
ACCOMMODATIONS

Other area accommodations are:

All of these hotels are in Millington relatively close to Edmund Orgill Park.

Meals: Danny Daniels will be cooking Friday night and Saturday night.

The Shelby Forest General Store will be taking orders for lunch on Saturday right after the Players meeting. Otherwise, you�re on your own.
Park Access Fee: The park will be enforcing the current access fee of $3/car per day. However, they have given us a special deal for $1.50/car per day. You can pay for and pick up the car mirror tags when you register or check in with the TD. If you are staying the cabins or campsites at the Park, it will be covered in your fee.
