89 people signed up.

Online registration is closed (thankyou)

If someone wants to fill the last spot - I will accept cash this evening at the park between 5:30 and 7:00

Park opens at 8AM
Check in by 9:00AM
Players Meeting 9:30
Tee time 10:00

The course is freshly mowed and is looking great after lots of winter storm damage (and lots of volunteer cleanup).

Looks like it'll be a hot one - bring lots of fluids.

Lunch will be served both days - veggie fare also available.

The sliding entry fee scale is in effect and has once again provided a nicely spread - diverse group of players. I'll come back with some statistics for you all to consider when it's all said and done.

Thanks Craig great tournament I think everyone had a good time and a lot of compliments for the "new" Seneca. Exciting finish too, Steve Brinster was leading by 2 going into the final "9" hole but hit a tree on his first upshot, then missed a putt for the win to allow Schwebbie a chance at a 4 peat. On the first sudden death playoff hole Brian hit an early tree and Steve had a spectacular roller to set up a routine upshot 3 for the win, great stuff!
