Mashie Niblick Classic 2011

Scott Lake Country Club

September 25, 10am

Gentlemen, it’s that time of year- Mashie time!

From the Desk of Tournament Director Chris Clark:

The details for the 2011 M-N Classic have been hammered out.

Entry fee:  $50  (18 holes, burgers, a chance to win the cup)

$10 of entry fee goes toward juvenile diabetes research in the name of Brooke Reyers

Limited field so commit early.

Chris Clark (cclark@gr-press.com) – Tournament Director

The brutal finishing test at Scott Lake exposes any weakness in a team and leaves two men standing while the rest succumb to the unrelenting meat grinder that is the final nine on Sunday.

Please call Todd Halterman (231-638-2352) or Mark Reyers (616-633-7845) at your earliest convenience to reserve your slot in the most prestigious event in amateur golf – The 2011 Mashie-Niblick Classic.

Drive there, cough up $50, sack up, time your sway, fight the choke reflex, can the putts and you may possibly earn the opportunity to take home the coveted Mashie Cup and have your name forever enshrined in the Hall of Champions.

Bring lots of cash, as the accounting for this monster undertaking is more complicated than counting the gate at The Concert for Bangladesh. There will, as always, be a scrupulously managed set of pools for the betting men among us – but those will cost you some additional scratch as well.

Format: 2-man teams, 18-holes – 9 best ball/9 scramble

Cost: $50 per player (a huge bargain if you add in the booze, cigars, and event holes with prizes)

We need a firm headcount for the course and the dinner banquet, and it’s essential that we have that count 2 weeks prior to the event, so please register ASAP..

Play hard.
