Craig....

OK, I've had a couple requests from folks for information, so this must be hiding a bit. Pre-reg is starting to build, I will have a current list up shortly. See above for tournament info.

6 count em 6 USDGC spots up for grabs (5 regular + 1 for the MD representative spot) pre-reg is posted, come and git em folks :)

There will also be 2 Vibram Open spots up for grabs.

For me it's all about the blooming Dogwoods and Russian Olives.

Glad to see the Soiree back where it belongs......early spring. :D

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!
