Well the Ironwood Open was a huge success. Although we had the same number of players as last year (even with a split field) we managed to increase the tournament payout value by $134 (from 2006) for the Pro field while the number of Pro's decreased by 8 players. This calculated out to a payout of 164% (including player pack)for the Pro field. The actual entry fees for the Pro's totaled $1,540 and the payout total was $2,125 or 138%.
For the AM field we had an increase of 8 players from the prior year while at the same time the payout (including player pack)value increased from $2,680 to $3,919 with a payout percentage of 187%. The total net entry fees for the Ams totaled $2,095 while the actual payout (without player�s packs) totaled $2,435 or 116%.
The total added cash paid out to the divisions totaled $926 and the total additional cash raised to pay for the pro players packs totaled $264.
I'd like to extend a thank you out to the following individuals: Jerry Gotcher for his continued support with fundraising, course preparation, tournament preparation, running the tournament, and just his overall charm as a person. I also need to extend a thanks out to his wife Marie for the amazing cupcakes provided at the Lakeview Beach course championship (Wow I can still taste em YUMMY!!!)
I'd also like to extend a thanks out to Sid and Dave Olcott, Chris Deitzel, KB Clark, Leo liller, and Time Wright for their continued support in tournament preparation and for helping the tournament run so smoothly. Dave great design, I heard nothing but compliments (Hint Hint start the next one because I want it to be spectacular and not just amazing lol).
Also need to extend thanks out to Larry Gioia, Greg Meitus, J. Gary Dropcho, and the other PFDS members for their support in making the tournament a success.
Fundraising for next years Ironwood Open has begun. We have a hopeful prospect in Bayer MaterialScience as a tournament sponsor, as well as Custom Ink, Quaker Steak & Lube, and many of our other contributors from this year.
Hope you all had fun.
See you at the Knob Hill Course Championship to raise money for the PFDO.
