  3. Players may submit ballots for tee times from Wednesday through Sunday 12 noon.
  4. From November through April, once per month toward the end, the format of both AM and PM Sweeps will be a team game with members selected randomly by computer. Specific team dates will be posted in advance. All other Sweeps events will be individual with the option to sign up and play with members of your choice.
  5. A random drawing will determine starting holes for up to 144 players in each Sweeps event, with any excess placed on standby. Starting holes are posted by Monday PM.  Players selected who cannot play, AS A COURTESY TO OTHERS, please call to cancel ASAP at (760) 341-5877.
