The tournament boasts two different formats which provides something for everyone.

There will be a separate buy in for this format if you so choose, for a chance to win some cash. Chick fil a will provide lunch for all participants, and the banquet will be a Bar B Que dinner which is always popular with the attendees. There will be an opportunity for a new car at the hole in one hole sponsored by Bill Stephans of Cerritos Infiniti.
