A luncheon will be held following play Friday and the Awards Dinner will take place Saturday evening.



Both the MGA and SILGA will play four (4) different formats during the tournament including Four-Ball Stroke Play, Two-Ball Shamble, Captain's Choice Scramble and Modified Alternate shot. Prizes will be awarded for each nine hole competition as well as overall. The entry fee is $60 per player for gentlemen and $50 pp for ladies plus carts which includes the luncheon on Friday, Awards Dinner on Saturday and prizes. Non-playing Spouses are invited and encouraged to attend both social functions and their meal(s) will be charged separately.



The idea to combine these events was very well received last fall and we're excited to do it again this spring, so ladies and gentlemen, pick a partner join us. You may sign up by calling the golf shop at 768-2529 or email your entry to golf@discoverseabrook.com.

Our first Get Golf Ready program of 2010 is coming up March 22nd - 26th.

Space is limited and filling up quickly, so call the golf shop to sign up.



Adult Clinics

Every Tuesday from 9:30 - 10:30 the professional staff conducts a short game clinic on pitching, chipping, putting, and bunker play. One week, we focus on chipping and putting. The next week, we focus on pitching and bunker. So, if you are beginner or just need a tune-up on the short game, call the Golf Shop at 768-2529 to sign up. The cost is $15.



On Thursdays from 9:30- 10:30 and Saturdays from 12 - 1, the professional staff conducts a 1 hour clinic devoted to the full swing.
