- Golf Friday @ PGA West Stadium Course 1PM
- Golf Saturday @ Classic Club 10AM
- Awards Banquet hosted at Maracas Mexican Restaurant
All proceeds from the “Super Raffle” will go to the San Diego Jr. Golf Association,
a 501 C 3.
Format: 36 Holes Individual Stroke Play by Flights and Blind Draw Teams
Flights:
- Smeal Jr. : All professionals and amateurs with a 5.0 index or less. This the elite group of players who show up each year and although they have some game and call themselves professionals generally drink too much beer, have too much fun, and barely make it to the banquet. They all swing like Nicklaus and Putt like Ray Charles.
- Smeal Sr. : Amateurs with a 5.1 to 15. These guys are good, they are the subtle cheaters who play out of bounds like a lateral water hazard. They take gimmees even though it is a "Tournament". They generally play slow because they are trying so hard to win even when they now Dan Ekeroth will win again.
- Twitch-Switch: The name Amateur is too good for these players. They say God can't hit a One Iron, these guys couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. They will tee off last, play fast only because they are nervous of trailing too far behind. They will make the turn in two hours, grab a hot dog, a twelve pack, smokes, oh yeah, and more balls. Apparently a dozen wasn't enough for the first 9. Then on the back 9 there is a good chance someone will get hurt. If someone isn't struck by a golf ball or someone isn't ejected from a moving cart then we have not lived up to our reputation.
