Essex 73's Annual Golf Tournament Date Moved Up to Saturday, June 23rd
The Essex 73's annual Golf Tournament is approaching quickly.
Players, fans, alumni and all, are welcome to particpate in this year's tournament. The date is Saturday, June 23rd and it is being hosted at Belleview Golf Course.
The tournament has been held recently on a Sunday and late in the year, usually second week of August, but this year the club felt it would be better to try and run it earlier than later.
"June is a competitive month for golfing," said Joe Garon, 73's Golf Committee chairperson. "But ultimately, there is more upside to hosting the tournament in June than there is in August. Most golfers in this area are anxious to get on the course early season, and by August, a lot of those same golfers are golfed out, and have already committed to play in other tournaments. We feel we can attract a better turn out with this date change."
Another factor was the day of the week itself.
Other changes this year include the post-tournament dinner. It has been held the last several years back in Essex at the Essex Legion, but this year the dinner will immediately follow the tournament right in the clubhouse at Belleview.
"They have done some needed rennovations upstairs and can now accomodate 144 golfers rather comfortably", Garon said. "They have opened it up, added a sound system, and more importantly, added a third grill to accommodate tournaments of our size."
Garon went on to say, "Not everyone wants to eat immediately after their round, but if they should, Belleview now has the means of accommodating.
The tournament is $125 a golfer and is a 4-person Texas Scramble. Deadline for registration is June 17th.
