The tournament offers multiple opportunities for prizes for longest drive, closest-to-pin, and 4 hole-in-one’s. Prizes include luxury cars, a trip to Hawaii, rounds of golf at premier golf courses, gift cards from local businesses, even an adventure trip sponsored by North Georgia Canopy Tours.

Players can sign up individually while teams will 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 located within Newtown Park.

The Standard Club is at 6230 Abbotts Bridge Road in Johns Creek.
