Turkey Open 2012

I like the idea of a quick lunch break considering how soon it will be getting dark. People can try to order food in between roundsif they choose to, but I don't think the second round start should be catered to those who do not wish to eat the lunch they paid for. Besides, who doesn't like a good cold cut?

Really pumped for this tournament and the course being a permanent addition to Sunnybrook. I love the temporary course and with hanging baskets and that tree basket, this is only going to get better! Keep up the awesome work John and Chris and everyone else helping with this!

The teams pay $15 for the cart or $7.50 per player
Each player pays $5 to golf at Sunnybrook
Lunch per player is $4.50
Soup Kitchen gets $2.00 per team or $1 from each player
We hope the lunch is more of a convenience than trying to push it on the players but 2 rounds here, even with carts, takes us very close to dark so keeping the players close by and a quick lunch only helps.
Also, it would be tough to make lunch for close to 90 players in such a short time so having it prepared in adva ... more

We tossed around ideas like having people pre-order their lunch in the morning based off of their preference but again, the lunches would come off the grille at different times and some people's food may get cold waiting for them to come off the course.
Always open for ideas though if you have any?

I'm not sure what has been worked out with Sunnybrook for this year, but if we use last year as an example the break down of fees looks like this:

Carts: $15
Lunch: $9
Soup Kitchen:$2

As far as the mulligans go its one per team per round like Brent had stated.

brent moreno    October 31, 2012 at 5:57am

Im thinkin its just one mulligan per rd per team not one each. Or im readin the flyer wrong!

Keith Blakely    October 31, 2012 at 5:39am

Do we know how much the fees are? Just wanting to know how much of the 80 is going into the purse?

Chris Leo    October 31, 2012 at 5:10am

Aaron, what that means is after the fees have been subtracted what's left over goes to the pros payouts. Same goes for the Ams.

Doug, I'll have that waiting for you.

Aaron Nitz    October 31, 2012 at 5:06am

Darren, last year it was $8 total, meaning $4 per team mulligan=both players get a mulligan on two occasions. Chris: "the fees not included in payouts" just means the money you have to pay Sunnybrook comes off the top of payouts, right? John, dying to see the pics of the hanging baskets when they're in :)

Douglas "Fresh" Watson    October 31, 2012 at 4:07am

Can I get a vegan sub with all local, organic, non-GMO ingredients?

Darren Harper    October 31, 2012 at 3:25am

Mulligans are 4$ 1 each round is that per team or per player. So if we want to purchase the max it would be 8$ each both using 1 mull per round?

Chris Leo    October 30, 2012 at 10:56pm

Entry fee will include cart cost and green fees, plus lunch. Lunch will consist of subs and salad, if you have any special needs please let me know. I.e. diet, allergies, etc. The fees are not included into payouts.

Brett Hagen    October 30, 2012 at 6:58pm

Hey John, add me to the waiting list please. Open, team name "STUFFING STRUT FOR ****S". And I'll hit you up this week to help set up, maybe bowl after too.

John Minicuci    October 30, 2012 at 7:34am

I try to get there around 5 pm although Wednesday is Halloween so I may need to be home around 6:30 to pass out candy to the little monsters of the hood. My daughter might be able to save me and let me hang out longer if need be...

brandon oleskie    October 30, 2012 at 4:03am

Hey John I can be there tomorrow and Thursday just let me know what time you need me there

Aaron Nitz    October 30, 2012 at 3:20am

John, you guys are awesome! So cool that everyone will have a new look at a brand new course. The basket in the tree is great! I think those hanging baskets will be sweet, too.

John Minicuci    October 30, 2012 at 1:06am

Here's the plan for the week as I have them now:
To Do's:
Assemble the baskets and chains to poles (12) - Starting tonight (Monday)
Cut one pole in half (drill holes for chains and cages - 3 per) (Hopefully completed tonight, Monday)
Hang 3 baskets from trees (Tuesday/Wednesday)
Mark both long and short tee pads (Wednesday)
Install 12 already assembled baskets in the sleeves (Thursday)
Laser measure all of the holes (both short and long - Thursday)
Write up new scorecards and s ... more

Write up new scorecards and send to printer Thursday night to have ready for Friday pick-up
Roll out fly pads Friday
As you can see, there's still plenty to do so if anyone has time after 5 pm the rest of the week, it is dark by 7 pm...

DJ, they are a copy from last year. At the time of writing about this tournament we had no idea we would have a permanent course in so soon. Once we get measurement's the hole info will be updated.

Dj Hunt    October 29, 2012 at 8:18pm

So are the holes listed on the about page correct or is that a copy of last year

Ryan Frad    October 29, 2012 at 8:41am
