Resorters Golf Tournament
In the tradition it has followed for 98 years, the 99th Resorters Golf Tournament will provide some of the most exciting and memorable golf action available as the tournament runs from August 2-8.
But more than that, it is a family affair, providing traditions that connect the past to the present, bringing new generations of families to the lakes area.
Many of the best golfers in the state will be competing in the week-long event, filling the competition with beautiful drives, errant shots and game-winning putts on a course filled with history and signature holes.
The tournament will include not only some very serious competition but some fun as well with the Longest Drive Contest on Monday, August 3 at 6 p.m. after regular play has concluded, and the Putting Contest on Wednesday, August 5 at 6 p.m.
Many high profile athletes have competed in this tourney, most notably professional golfer and Alexandria graduate Tom Lehman, who won the Resorters title in 1980. The Alexandria Golf Club is where the PGA Tour professional and USA Ryder Cup captain learned the game of golf.
New to the tournament last year was the Men’s Grand Master Flight for those 75 years of age or older. The field included the first eight players to enter.
Qualifying play for the Men’s Regular/Championship flights will begin on Sunday, August 2, with match play beginning Tuesday, August 4.
