Your Manitoba Area Council and GHY International would like to invite you to this year’s 18th Annual CITT Annual Bursary Golf Tournament on Thursday, May 25th, 2023.

It looks like Spring has finally arrived in this Province and the snow is rapidly disappearing. This tournament has never been cancelled due to weather conditions, and the snow seems to magically disappear and the greens are playable in time for this event. You will definitely be one of the first to hit the links this year. If we get a minimum of 50 golfers, the winning team will get free entry into next year’s tournament.

After an overwhelming vote by participants at last year’s tournament, THERE WILL BE NEW RULES THIS YEAR. PLEASE READ THEM AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS INVITATION.

Location: Kingswood Golf & Country Club – LaSalle, MB

It’s been an extremely long winter for all us and it will be nice to get back into group settings. This is the time to get together and have some fun. Please come out and join in one of the first tournaments of the 2023 golf season. In addition to Golf there will be a Marshmallow putting contest along the course (Free), a 50/50 draw, and a 50/50 putting contest at the end of the course.

We will begin with a shotgun start @ noon followed by a putting contest then dinner.

The Golden Ball Rules

Teams will be using the Texas Scramble format. 2 Drives from each player must be used instead of the normal three. Teams are made up of four players – Player# 1 and Player #2 will ride one golf cart. Player #3 and Player #4 will ride the other golf cart. Player #1 will be the Team Captain who will be responsible for keeping the team score. Player# 1 has been assigned #1 balls, Player #2 has been assigned # 2 balls, etc. All play will be from the White tees for all players.

Competition Rules:

Each player is given one Golden Ball. Their Golden Ball numbers will be the same as their Player#. Each player must play it on each shot until lost. They then must revert to the normal white ball for the remaining holes.

Scoring as follows – White Ball Golden Ball

Bogey 1 2

Par 2 4

Birdie 3 6

Eagle 4 8

Scoring is based on the colour of the ball that goes into the hole first. So be careful when putting. The idea is to let the Golden Balls putt first to maximize points. If a white ball should be sunk first, then you must score accordingly.

The higher the score, the better. Highest score wins under the Stableford system.
