Date:  August 8th

The Bar Stool Open is a miniature golf tournament with holes located at participating restaurants and bars around the lake.  This year we have commitments from 13 establishments.  Each establishment can have 14 teams (although we have allowed more than that in the past), with each team having 4 players.  The players must furnish their own putters and golf balls.  The entry fee is $100 per team.  Cash payouts go to the top three teams (low scores).  The teams go to each establishment in a sequential order; they can go by land or water. Along with the golf, there is a pontoon decorating contest.  The top three pontoons (as selected by our unbiased judges) are awarded cash prizes.

The sign-up sheets, rules, and publicity posters should be in the establishments around Memorial Day.  Teams should sign up early at their preferred establishment to ensure their starting hole. bobdeb78@woh.rr.com, or by phone at 419-394-1740
