- Date: June 4, 2024 (It's a Tuesday)
- Time: TBD, but likely VERY early so we can get as much golf in as possible before the heat hits
- Location: The Tree Farm near Aiken, SC
- Cost: $300, which includes all-day golf, prizes, a charity donation, water, and snacks provided for the day.
- Charity: A portion of every registration goes to The Kisner Foundation, an Aiken-based charity founded by Kevin Kisner and his wife Brittany. The Kisner Foundation has two core ways of helping kids off the course. First, they are working to increase literacy amongst young kids in the Aiken area. Secondly, they help fund various childhood mental and behavioral health programs in SC and Georgia. As a parent with a child with behavioral health problems, this cause is near and dear to my heart.
- Field Size: 60 golfers (we are currently at capacity and this sign up is waitlist-only)
- NIT Spots up for grabs: 1
- Format: We're gonna get weird. We will be playing 27 holes as a two-person team competition. Teams are drawn at random with 1 low(ish) handicap and 1 high(ish) handicap per team. Each team will play 18 holes of fourball, followed by 9-holes of modified alternate shot. After 27 holes, teammates become foes, as the players from the top 4 teams enter a winner-takes-all sudden death head-to-head match play. Once we crown a winner, everyone should be able to play their remaining nine holes before they head home for the day.
- Optional Side Games: We'll do $20 buy-in on optional side games throughout the day. Think closest-to-the-pins, skins, and more. 1/2 of the pot will go to charity, 1/2 will be split amongst side game winners.
A few notes from the tournament committee:
This may be unpopular, but since we’re guests at this property and hope to make a good impression, we’re instituting a no alcohol or smoking rule. We don’t want any wildfire or fireball out there, y’all. This isn’t The Waste Management, it’s Tree Players.
It’s important to note that this course is walking-only. If you have an ADA need, please reach out, and we’ll see if reasonable accommodations can be made.
Lastly, the course WILL have the pro shop open for us after our round for merch sales.
