ALSO: Mulligans will be on sale for $5. They can not be used on ANY of the holes with prizes on them. This is also for insurance purposes, so please take note of the signs that announce prizes.
Parking: When entering the lot, we will have students in maroon Polo's with BCS logos. They will take your golf bag and carry it up for you. TAMU Golf Course has told us they have between 75 and 120 spots in their lot (very accurate count). If the lot fills, there will be a shuttle. Pull in the TAMU Golf Course lot and we will give instructions on where to park. We will also take your golf bags at that time.
Payment: If you have not prepaid, you may do so at the registration table with cash or check. If you have credit card, register with the pro shop first(fill out registration form and make payment), then bring your receipt and form over to the registration table. If you do not have a full team, we will fill the spots on your team with singles or pairs if possible.
Attire: Proper golf attire is requested and appreciated.
We are excited to get this event off the ground and look forward to making it a growing tradition here at Texas A&M. If you have any questions or if there are any issues I have not addressed, feel free to email me back. I will try to respond to all emails tonight to avoid last minute confusion. Also, BCS wants to thank Traditions Council for supporting a growing relationship between the two organizations. They will be out serving food for us, and were essential in the planning and execution of this event.
