Players can sign up individually and teams play in foursomes. The tournament will use a shamble format in which all players tee off and the best drive is chosen as the starting point for the entire team. The team score is the best ball of the team.

Mulligan tickets will be sold for additional shot on course and also used for numerous door prizes.

All proceeds benefit the Johns Creek Veterans Memorial Walk, a meditative and interactive tribute to area veterans, their families and supporters. The Memorial Walk is located at Newtown Park in Johns Creek.
