In an effort promote the Monocacy Cigar Lodge in Frederick, MD (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=142843), I am pleased to announce the first MCL Herf/Golf Tournament! It will be held on Saturday, May 31st at the Rattlewood Golf Course outside Mt. Airy, MD (http://www.montgomerycountygolf.com/RW_home.html). We have tee times for 8 groups (32 players) at $90 per person. This covers the greens fee, cart, range balls, and a very nice barbecue buffet catered by the award winning Damon’s Restaurant. The first group tees off at 9AM. The buffet will include:
BBQ chicken
Southern pork BBQ with roll
Beef brisket with BBQ sauce and roll
Cole slaw
Baked beans
Garlic mashed potatoes

Depending on how things go with sponsors and other generous benefactors, each player will receive a gift bag with cigars to smoke during the tournament, and whatever other golf/cigar goodies we can come up with. Also, door prizes will be given out during the devouring of the buffet. To keep things moving and fun for all the players regardless of skill level, the tournament will be a “best ball” or “Captain’s Choice” competition. There will be a prize for the “closest to the pin” and “longest drive” contest winners. The players on the three teams with the lowest scores (1st, 2nd, and 3rd places) will win an as yet undetermined prize.

This promises to be a great time, and we hope it will become an annual tradition for many years to come. You can tell your grandchildren, “I played in the first one!” Please send me a message if you want more information or to reserve your slot. Don’t wait too long ‘cause they’re gonna go fast!
