MELROSE OPEN GOLF TOURNEY—Fri-August 17
Irish eyes are smiling in anticipation of the ninth annual Melrose Open Golf tournament at the Norwalk Golf & Country Club to be held Friday, August 17.
Proceeds from the Golf Open go to Melrose Community Betterment projects. The Melrose Green Hat Society usually attends and helps with raising dollars for the Irish.
Entry fee for the 4 member teams is $200 and are due by July 31st. Late entry fee will be $250 if paid after July 31st. (NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. Betterment ladies find it way TOO STRESSFUL to try to take entry fees the morning of tourney—with all the other responsibilities,plus, Betterment cannot afford to take the risk of a rainout & have to pay thousands for the Golf Course regardless.)Betterment appreciates eveyone’s understanding & cooperation-knowing this is for worthy Melrose projects.
Sponsorships are $100 and donations are also being recruited. Sponsors names will be posted on signs on the golf course the day of the tourney, will be published in a thank you ad in the Albia and Chariton newspapers after the tourney and will be posted on the Melrose web site www.melroseiowa.org.
Tee times for the Melrose Open are 7 a.m and 11.30 a.m shotgun starts. An Awards Ceremony will begin about 5pm in the clubhouse.
Coveted green blazers will be the grand prize and will be presented to the winners by the Green Blazer Winners Club.
Melrose heartily welcomes all non-golfers and non-Irish who appreciate Melrose to this gala event. A full gallery of fans is usually present throughout the day and evening and readily joins in the spinning of Blarney.
Checks for entry fees, sponsorships, and donations are to be made out to Melrose Betterment-Golf Open and mailed to Melrose Betterment, 701 Erin Ave, Melrose, Ia
In case of a rain out, a card tourney and social will be held as we cannot refund or reschedule the golf course.
The Melrose Open Golf Tournament tis a gala event for Melrose and a grand day for the Irish and their friends as folks remind one another of the wise proclamation “If you’re lucky enough to be Irish, you’re lucky enough!” Check the Melrose web site often to follow the team entries and updates regarding the golf tourney.
