The Tournament


The Tournament
is a different kind of golf fundraiser with a limited number of golfer spots available. We are looking for 4 to 16 golfers to attempt to play 54 holes (our as many as you can) of golf in one day to raise funds for The Van. Much like a Walkathon, Bikeathon, etc each golfer will have an individual fundraising page where supporters can donate. As an added bonus there are incentives for both those who donate and the golfer raising money.
UPDATE: Apparently the idea of playing 54 holes of golf in one day scared people. It will only be me playing a marathon day of golf (hopefully more than 54 holes) to raise money for the Van. People who donate will still be eligible for the drawing for a PKGO grill. Since the course is still unplayable because of the Arkansas River flooding I will be playing at Pine Valley Golf course.

The Tournament is really 2 tournaments in one.
2 Player Shamble: A "shamble" is a type of golf tournament format in which a team of golfers selects the one best drive among them after teeing off, then all players (in this case 2) play their own golf balls from that position into the hole. You can think of a shamble as a scramble off the tee and then regular stroke play into the hole. Any holes not completed will be scored with the max score for that hole. There will be a team winner (best combined score for 54 holes) and and individual winner (best individual score for 54 holes).
 
Yellow Ball Tournament: Each team starts with 1 Yellow Van ball (extra yellow balls can be earned, see below). The yellow ball rotates among the team members, changing after each hole. For example, on the first hole Player A hits the yellow ball; on the second hole, Player B plays the yellow ball, rotating throughout the round. The yellow ball score is kept separately. The team with the lowest yellow ball score wins. Any holes not completed will be scored with the max score for that hole. If a team loses all it's yellow balls they receive the max score for each remaining hole.

Prizes:
2 Person Shamble Team Winners - Each member will receive a gift card worth 1% of the total amount raised by The Tournament fundraiser. Example - If we raise $20,000 each member of the winning team would get a $200 gift card.
Individual Shamble Winner - Player with the lowest individual score for the 54 holes will receive a gift card worth 2% of the total amount raised by The Tournament fundraiser.
