    The price for green fees with one half cart rental and the dinner is $128.00 (including taxes and tip). Beverages are extra. For those who would like to participate in the fellowship of the dinner only, the fee will be $40.00.

    To participate in the prize table, 'bring a prize and win a prize', just bring a prize with a minimum $25 value for the prize table. Then you are eligible to choose a prize with your team.

    This year there is another special prize with winner drawn from the first 32 registered players. The prize being Golf for Four with Carts at the Galt Country Club. Generously donated by PROBUS member Wayne Taylor 

    Our group will Tee off from the 1st Tee. The first foursome at 12:00 Noon, and each foursome every 9 minutes thereafter. Your specific tee time and details of the day’s program will be advised prior to the event.
