All golfers who played in the tournament were given a token prize of a bag tag.
Flights consisted of a Championship, six sub flights, Senior Championship and six Senior sub flights.
Regretfully, because of the low number of entries this year, cash prizes were limited to the top three scores in each flight. Plaques were awarded to First and Second places in each flight. A total of $2150.00. in cash was awarded.
Callaway was on Sunday for both weekends. Anyone who shot a 79 or better on either day and those who signed to play in the championship flight were placed in the Championship Flight. No holes were scored more than double par. The 17th and 18th holes were not counted in the Callaway. Ties were broken by using the lowest Callaway. All special prize winners received golf balls.
To Carlisle Aerie #1299, thank you for hosting the tournament.
Thanks to the management and staff of the Rich Vallet and Carlisle Barracks Golf Course for their cooperation. Thanks to Nikki and Janet in the Grand Aerie office for handling the golf entries. A special thanks to Debby and Judy for the work that they do at the course.
