About this Event
Metropolitan Chapter Members and Friends,
This year's NYWEA Scholarship Fundraiser Golf Outing will be held on November 8 (Election Day), at the Van Cortlandt Golf Course (i.e., "Vanny").
Net proceeds from the outing will directly benefit the future of water quality by supporting the next generation of local engineering students through the NYWEA Metropolitan Chapter's scholarship fund. In support of this good cause, we invite you to please join us for a day of golf and fellowship on a great course. Hope to see you there!
Note: that the Golf Course requires an attendee list by October 19th, so please register ASAP if you plan to join us!
Format:
The format will furthermore be a "four man scramble" in which teams of four players compete against one another. Each team's players hit from the teebox, then the team members choose the best of the four shots for the next shot. All team members then play the second shot from that location, and again choose the best shot. Play continues in this manner until the hole is completed. The team then records its score and maintains that format for all 18 holes.
Prior to tee time there will be a $20 entry putting contest with bragging rights and a modest prize awarded to winner.
Mulligans will be available on site at $50 per shot (cannot be used for puts)
Prizes will be awarded for the following:
- Lowest team score
- Longest drive
- Closest to the pin
- Highest team score
- Putting contest, $20 entry
