This fun event, the fifth annual, is annually held at one of Kansas City’s best public golf courses – Falcon Lakes, featuring beautiful rolling fairways and large undulating greens. A friendly staff offers a top quality practice facility, free range balls, awards presentation and we’ll top off the day with that world famous Kansas City BBQ! Plus, trade tables are available, too.

“The format is a two-person, 18-hole scramble in Match Play,” says organizer Mike Needleman. “Handicaps will be used to match teams so that fun and friendly competition is ensured. Medals will be awarded to ALL the participants, but the outcome is up to your team to determine whether it’s a Gold or a Silver. There will also be Low Gross/Low Net team awards. Open to men, women, couples and those ‘newbies’ who desire to try hickories for the first time; rental sets available. Having fun is at the core of this early season hickory event.”

Make your own teams or the organizers will assign you. Tee times will begin at noon at The Golf Club at Falcon Lakes. Period attire encouraged but not required.

The event is partly a fundraiser for Carl’s Cause, which promotes Mental Health Awareness.
