Golf Tournament
First Annual Skills Challenge - Thursday
Night - 4pm to 7pm
Before the Celebrity Auction get your team
together for one more fun evening at the Ghost Tree. This is your chance
to test your golf skills against the rest of the field. Go between
three stations; Long Drive Contest (divided by handicap), Putting
Challenge (two person teams), and finally the Splash For Cash shot. It
all takes place at Pronghorn and its a great way to kick off the Ghost
Tree weekend.
First Annual Celebrity Auction - Thursday Night - 7pm to 9pm
Right after the Skills Challenge we will begin the most exciting part of Thursday night, the Celebrity Auction. Enjoy some food and drinks as you bid on a celebrity to join your foursome the next day. We're having 25 to 30 sports and entertainment celebrities go up for bid so if you want to add a fifth player to your group for Friday and not only get a leg up on the field by adding a player, you can also get to know one of our celebrities during your round and make a new friend. Each celebrity will be featured in a short presentation and brought up on stage to be interviewed by our hosts for the evening before being auctioned off. In addition, we will be featuring a sports memorabilia silent auction with autographed items from Peyton Manning, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Ken Griffey, Jr, Felix Hernandez and many more.
Golf Tournament -
Friday the 27th of August, 7:40am and 1:30pm shotguns
Teams
are limited to the first 58 foursomes. Although the name implies you
must be invited to play, the Ghost Tree Invitational is open to the
public, no invitation needed. The 2008 and 2009 event was sold out, so
get your team registration in early.
The format for the 2010 Ghost Tree Invitational golf tournament is a four person scramble. The teams that bid on and won a celebrity on Thursday night the 26th will have a fifth player in their group that can participate as a member of the group for the day. A scramble is a very simple format with each person hitting their shot and the group selecting the best ball to play from, each player must use two drives during the eighteen holes (no drives required from the celebrity. A percentage of your overall team handicap will be taken.
