A few months ago we made the tough decision to postpone the Eric M. Suhl Memorial Golf Tournament. As our country is slowly reopening, we are excited to announce that we have set a new date! Please mark October 17th down on your calendar for the 5th Annual Eric M. Suhl Memorial Golf Tournament. We will continue to monitor recommended safety guidelines, and will send more details as we get closer to the event.

Tournament Information
Registration and breakfast begin at 7:30 a.m., shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. Please show up at least 30 minutes prior in order to register and get to your golf cart prior to the opening remarks. Show up earlier if you want to go to the driving range and warm up. Range balls and a shuttle to and from the driving range will be provided. Prizes awarded for 3 places. On-course contests include: closest to the pin, longest drive, shortest drive, tee box toss, the big draw, rip the skip, pin head, and a putting contest. See below for a description of the potential contests to be featured at the tournament.
There will be a luncheon following the tournament where the prizes will be awarded. Even if you do not want to participate in the tournament, there is a lunch only option available for purchase. The luncheon will begin around 1:30 p.m.
We are very excited and hope to see many of you out there!

Four-Person Scramble
Each member of your scramble team will tee off from your starting hole. Choose the best tee shot. Mark the spot of the best tee shot with a golf tee or ball marker. Direct your playing partners to pick up their ball and hit from within one club length of the marked spot (cannot place ball closer to the hole). Continue selecting the best shot until one player hits the ball in the hole for par or better. If your team cannot make par, pick up, record a bogey, and move to the next hole. Tie breakers will be determined by comparing scores on 1st handicap hole through 18th if needed.
Tournament Contests
Below are examples of games from previous tournaments:
- Putting Contest – make a putt, if you can, and win a prize
- The Big Draw – here is your chance to hit the most unbelievable and incredible shot you’ve probably never attempted before
- Rip the Skip – if you have ever dreamed of hitting that shot you see in the Masters practice rounds, here is your chance
- Tee Box Toss – backyard game with big yard rewards
- Pin Head – defies a comprehendible description
- Closest to the Pin – punching new holes in this classic golf contest
