TOURNAMENT DETAILS:
March 5th: Practice Round @ Whirlwind Cattail Golf Club
March 6 – 8th: Championship Pro-am Event @ Whirlwind Cattail Golf Club
54-Hole Tournament Format:
Pro-am Event:
Pro-am Teams will consist of 1 (one) Professional & 1 (one) Amateur. Each grouping will consist of 2 Professionals and 2 Amateurs. Professionals who bring an Amateur down to play in the Pro-am will be entitled to an All-American Tour Members’ price for the 54-Hole event. Those Pros who register for the event without an amateur will pay the non-member price for the event. If Amateurs want to play in the same 4-some as a friend or with a particular Professional, they are asked to make this request at the time of online registration.
Amateur Event:
The Amateur event will be a 54-Hole tournament based on Gross and Net scores for each flight. We will use three flights for this event, which will be determined by equally dividing up the flights once we have confirmed the amateur field.
Professional Event:
Professionals will be competing for a total purse based on # of Professionals registered in the field. Full details of how the Professional Purse is calculated can be found on the All American Tour website: http://www.all-americantour.com
