The driving range and putting green will be open at noon.

The tournament will follow a “Four-person Florida scramble” format. The team’s best ball will be played throughout the round. Individual players’ will be assigned to a team.

After their round, teams will enjoy a hamburger buffet while scorecards are tallied to determine the winning teams.
