2020 WEEKEND GETAWAY
July 25, 2020
8:00a- 3:00p

MOVED DUE TO N.Y. TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
TOURNAMENT ENTRY HERE

The original NY Weekend Getaway event was moved on 7-14-20 due to a New York travel restriction that required Ohio travelers to quarantine for 14 days upon their entering New York.

Due to timing of the NY advisory, all Better Half Tour Teams had to be in New York & quarantined 2 days prior to the New York announcement.

Um, good luck with that.

Moved to Tappan Lake, OH!
