Firecracker Open at The Royal July 3

Match Play Sixes at The Royal July 24

FUN, FAST, and AFFORDABLE—that’s the best way to describe the Firecracker Open. This is an 18-hole, four-player scramble where every hole at The Royal is converted into a par 3. Treat your family and friends to a great day at The Royal and join the Firecracker Open. Your four-player team can be any combination of men and/or women. Tee times will begin at 7 a.m., and you can book a time all the way to 5 p.m. It doesn’t matter what time of day you play—it will only take approximately three hours to complete the round. The entry fee is $42/player and includes greens fee, cart fee, and prize money. Call The Royal Golf Shop to book your time (972-8979).

THIS UNIQUE EVENT features two-man teams playing round robin 6-hole matches using an Alternate Shot (modified foursomes) format. The field will be set at 32 two-man teams. These teams will be arranged into four-team pools. Pool play will consist of three 6-hole matches in which teams complete all six holes. You win, lose, or tie based on the number of holes you won in each 6-hole match. Winners receive three points for a win, and a tie results in one point for each team. After 18 holes each pool will produce a winner, and then we will have these teams compete. The “A” pool winner will play the “B” pool winner, and “C” will face off against “D,” and so forth in a 9-hole match. The winners from this round will meet to vdetermine the overall winner. The finals match will also be a 9-hole match. Teams will earn Canadian Lakes Cup Points during this event (10 points for a win and 5 points for a tie). Entry information is available on the CLPOC website, www.memebers.canadianlakes.org. This is a members-only event.
