On-course Events
The purchase of a Super Ticket allows participation in all on course events. The events are described below:

Putting Contest: Occurs on the green located between holes 10 and 11. All holders of a Super Ticket will get one free putt (additional putts may be purchased). All players who sink a putt will be automatically entered into the final "put-off" at the conclusion of the tournament. The winner will receive a special prize (to be announched).

Scramble: All holders of a Super Ticket are entered into the scramble. The scramble uses at least one frive from each person on a team. All players hit from the best shot - the ball may be placed within one club length no nearer the hole and under the same condition. Mulligans can be used for any shot (except to win a prize). The team will record one score for each hole on the designated scorecard. Men will play from the white tees, while women and seniors over 70 will play from the red tees. The Scramble events are listed below:
    Hole 2 - Double your raffle tickets
    Hole 5 - Longest drive (women)
    Hole 7 - Closest to the "Gin"
    Hole 9 - Longest Drive (men)
    Hole 11 - Shortest drive
    Hole 13 - Longest putt
    Hole 14 - Hengstler Memorial Hole (farthest from the pin on the green)
    Hole 17 - Closest to the pin
    Hole 18 - Longest Drive (seniors over 60)
