Anybody interested in entering a CalgaryPuck golf tournament?

[Rerun]

Option 1 is: Golf c/w dinner ,cart, driving range, prizes, etc. Total Cost = $104 or $107 + GST

Option 2 is: Golf only - no dinner or cart included or any other extras included (this option will be used only if we have less than 24 people interested). Cost is $51.50 for green fees. A power cart, if wanted, costs $30. GST is extra. There will be no dinner with prizes or anything else... just 4.5 hrs of golf.

Option 3 is: "My preference is Option 2 but I will still opt for option 1 if we have more than 24 people "





Golf season is upon us and our beloved Flames are toast for the season so...

I just thought I’d kick this idea out there to see if anyone was interested. I was thinking that a Saturday or Sunday would be the best day to hold an event like this. If you’re interested let me know what day (Saturday or Sunday) that you prefer.

I’m more than willing to get the ball rolling on this is we have enough interest. It looks like the minimum number of particapants required would be 24.

This would be strictly a "just for fun" event. ... a good time for all and a chance to play some golf and an opportunity to meet some CP members..

I’ve done a little preliminary investigation and gotten some pricing from Heatherglen golf course here in Calgary..

This is the info they sent me:


Option #1:

or

Event Package - with New York Steak or Prime Rib dinner : TOTAL COST = $107.00 + 6% gst

Option #2:

I see they talk about being able to call 7 days ahead for a "group booking" which is for 'golf only" if you have less than 24 players
This may be an option if people aren't interested in doing the tournament c/w dinner idea. Cost would be $51.50 for green fees plus $15.00 per person ($30.00 per cart) for a power cart. I recommend a power cart on this course as this is an extremely long course to walk. On some holes there is quite a distance between the green and the next tee-box.

This is a great idea. I'm not a great golfer but I'd be in.

I'm just a hacker too. I figure I've played a good round if I can break 100.

Do you prefer a Saturday or a Sunday?

[Prototype]

Sorry for being slightly cheap, but how much are we talking per person here. I'd imagine that it depends on the number of people. But ballpark, what are we talking here?

Doesn't really matter.

$104 or $107 per person... depending on which dinner you want.

That's actually not too bad, especially at HeatherGlen. It's usually $60/person incl cart on a normal day anyways.

I'll look into it to see if I can make it. Great idea, but I think it'd be easier to swing (no pun intended) without the dinner. Is it a requirement?

[underGRADFlame]

I'd be in, and I know a couple people that would be in aswell. I've looked into local courses for a company tourny and most courses are around the 100-110 per person mark. Lakeside greens in chestermer is alittle bit cheaper and a fun course to boot, think it works out to around 85 per person but don't quote me on that.

I'm not that big of a golfer but if you're going to have this I say go big or go home

one of my favorite courses scout... it is hard to concentrate with the views though.. Bell Bay is another great one on the cape as well.

I doubt if Heatherglen or any place for that matter would let 25 to 50 people take over their dining room for free.

Completely understandable...

That's probably why I'm not that great a golfer... I can't afford to be... LOL.

I'll let you know. What's the minimum amount of people...25?

[Slava]

I'd be in for a round...would be a great time I'm sure!

[Rerun]

I bet with a bit of work we could pick up some free stuff or cash donations from CP members, or the companies they work for... to give away at the tournament. Who knows... maybe somebody here has the juice to get some free stuff from the Calgary Flames? I bet I could scrounge a few free ball caps from the company I work for.

[Knut]

I could do it.... depending on date of course.

But it sounds like a really good idea.

[4X4]

I'd be in depending on date, or at least ample notice.

[FireFly]

I'd be in, but keep in mind I suck at golf. It would be a fun day though, so I'd be down for fun.
