AMATEURS
If you’re playing in one tournament this year, it has to be the OneDigital Sunrise Rotary Pro-Am.
Amateurs play a traditional scramble. Each team can purchase up to 16 mulligans and 1 yard stick. Manage those mulligans, and make strategic use of 36 inches of gimmies, and see if you can beat the tournament record.​
Bring a ringer – you need to post a 47 to hold the title.
A basic registration for four amateurs and one professional is $800.
PROFESSIONALS
Professionals are playing head-to-head as they try to shake off the rust in one of the early tournaments of the season.
The 2022 tournament will feature tough competition as we continue to draw some of the best local pros as well as regional pros from the PGA and LPGA.
A $3,000 purse, split among the top ten finishers creates some serious competition, but pros are always willing to share a few tips.
Pro registration is included in the amateur sponsorship. Pros should contact us now to reserve their spot in the tournament.
