Gather your friends, family  and coworkers, and join us for
the 15th Annual Jed McKnight Open Golf Tournament
to support MS
July 16, 2012 at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club

Check out the Auction Page & Par 3 Challenge!!!

The tournament will be in the same format as in the past - the four-person Scramble with a shotgun start.  This format allows each player in the group to tee off. The game continues by selecting the best spot to play the next shot. All players will play the next stroke from that spot, and play continues in this format until the ball is holed out.  A "shotgun" start means that the foursomes will be spread over the entire course.  In this way each team will begin at the same time.  Each team must use 4 of each golfers' drives.  By doing this, we even the playing field by handicapping teams who bring out the "ringer".  Prizes will be given for longest putt, closest to the pin, and men's and women's longest drive.  Last year these prizes included golf clubs, golf shoes, clothing, etc.  We will also have a "pile" of raffle prizes which, in the past, have ranged from golf balls to golf bags and pull carts.  Each golfer will receive 2 raffle tickets with their paid entry to the tournament.  Additional tickets may be purchased for $1, of which all proceeds will be donated to either the Colorado Chapter of the National MS Society or the Rocky Mountain MS Center.

This year we are introducing the Par 3 Challenge for anyone that is interested in learning the game or playing some golf and supporting a great cause without committing to the entire 18 hole round.  The par 3 course consists of 9 considerably shorter holes than those found on the full course.  Golfers are able to play this course at their own pace avoiding the pressure of the tournament.  The cost for this is $20/golfer and will include the other tournament amenities as well (lunch, silent auction, raffle, etc.)  You can register for the Par 3 Challenge on the Registration tab.

We are currently looking for sponsors to help out with the following contests:

• Closest to the Pin
• Hole-in-One Contest
• Longest Drive (Men's and Women's)
• Longest Putt
• Putting Contest
• Straightest Drive
• Betting Hole
• We will once again offer the "special ball" and numerous other mini-games on various holes.
