Event to take place at Oak Meadow Country Club

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Oak Meadow Country Club will serve as host to the 2016 Purple Aces Club Golf Classic on Monday, May 16th.

One of the most important and entertaining fundraisers of the year, the golf classic is open to all.  Individuals can sign up to play for $150 while foursome’s are available for $600.  The entry fee includes your golf, a boxed lunch, drinks, a polo shirt and post-golf hors d’oeuvres.

On-site registration and lunch begin at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start commencing the action at noon.  A post-golf reception will begin at approximately 5 p.m. with the awards ceremony taking place 30 minutes later.

A registration link will be posted very soon, but to reserve your spot immediately, contact Amy Davidson at 812-488-2199 orad204@evansville.edu.

The format is a four person scramble where everyone hits off the tee.  Teams start on the regular tee and move back after a birdie, up for a bogie and up after two consecutive pars.  All players putt and there is a maximum of two putts on each green.  Mulligans will not be available.  In their place, a length of string will be provided to make a putt without an additional stroke being added.  Once a length is used, it cannot be reused.  Additional lengths may be purchased.

This format should allow for normal pace of play as it adds no additional strokes and actually eliminates strokes as a team from the fairway.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available and include a hole sponsor, longest drive, closest to the pin, carts, reception and event title.  For more information on those opportunities, please contact John Rodgers at 812-488-2488.
