Cost of tickets is the same as always: 1 for $5; three for $10, once around the waist for $25 OR, the best deal—twice around the waist for $40.
The Buffet and Reception: Most players come to the reception “just as they are” right after golf. The buffet will be set up in time for the first players who finish and will be replenished throughout the reception. Prizes and contest winners will be announced and the raffle drawing will begin once everyone has gone through the buffet line.

What if it Rains? Play will go on unless storms are severe and long-lasting. If play is cancelled, the reception will still take place, and players can obtain a rain check for a round of golf.
