Additional Details
Top prize in recent years has been $100 and we expect it to be the same, paying down to 3rd place. The field is separated in half to give prizes in a lower division as well. There are usually other prizes around aces on certain holes.
The tournament features a mix of locals and regional professionals and is one of the longest running in America. Last year’s field featured 43 putters.
The tournament record for 3 rounds is 106 and no player has shot all three rounds under 36 in the tournament’s history.
A portion of the registration fee and the bonus ball money will be donated to the Jimmy Fund/ UCONN Children Cancer Fund
