I'm new to the Coal Rodeo, is this okay?
This event is by invite only. Please contact Nichole Augustine ([email protected]) or Lynn Belcher ([email protected]).
How does the Calcutta fundraiser work?
(Example: Jim Johnson is a golfer on Saturday. Mary Jones pays $20 and buys a Calcutta envelope that contains Jim Johnson’s name printed on the card inside the envelope. After the Saturday Tournament, Jim Johnson is announced as the 2nd place winner using the Callaway scoring system. Mary Jones is now the winner of the 2nd place Calcutta prize.)
Prizes for the winning Calcutta envelope holders is based on a 75% payout of all money collected with the remaining 25% being donated to The Rodeo Scholarship Fund.
If I attend the business session, will I still be on time for the golf tournament on Wednesday?
Yes, you will have plenty of time to make the golf tournament at 11:00 am Wednesday. One of the reasons we started this shotgun format was so that all interested parties could both attend the business session and golf.
