WARWICK — The Warwick Valley Rotary Club will kick off the local spring golf tournament season when it hosts its 20th annual golf outing on Monday, April 29, at Great Gorge Country Club (formerly The Playboy Club Golf Course) in Vernon, N.J.

Rotary President John Buckley said funds raised by the Rotary golf outing will be used by the Warwick service club to sponsor local community projects and organizations.

Registration
Registration for the golf tournament is now underway.

The entry fee is $115 per golfer, which includes green fees, cart, prizes, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

A dinner-only fee of $30 per person is also available with a cash bar.

Events will begin with registration and a continental breakfast at 8 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 9:30.

The format will be scramble, best ball.

A buffet dinner will be held at approximately 3:30 p.m.

Two major hole-in-one prizes will be available this year. Leo Kaytes Ford again will sponsor a hole-in-one contest with a new Ford going to anyone acing the designated hole.

In addition, Warwick Resource Group is offering $10,000 for a designated hole-in-one. There will be door prizes and awards for winning team scores, longest drives and nearest to the pin.

“This will probably be the first golf outing of the 2013 season for many,” event chair Ken Ford said in the Rotary’s press release announcing the event, “so dust off those golf clubs and join us for this exciting tournament.”

The event chairman wants all local businesses to be aware that tee and green sponsorships are available for $100, as well as gift donations.

Names of sponsoring businesses will be posted throughout the 18-hole golf course on a tee and/or green of their choice.

A Gold sponsorship of $500 will provide a golf foursome, a cart plus one green and one sand trap “sign” sponsorship along with dinner.

“Please remember you can enjoy a wonderful day of golfing, networking and camaraderie, and more importantly help sponsor worthwhile local community projects,” Buckley added.
