M-G tourney to run under new schedule that's more friendly to visiting guests

By John RittenhouseThe 2004 version of the event will bring change to the 23rd annual Member-Guest Tournament, which will be played at the Luverne Country Club over the weekend.The Member-Guest Tournament, the first of four major tournaments staged at the LCC every golf season, will be played under a different schedule this year.Rather than playing under a Saturday-Sunday schedule as in the past, the 2004 M-G Quota Tournament begins on Friday and ends Saturday.Thirty-six, two-man teams will form the field for the Quota Tournament. The teams will open the tournament with an 18-hole round that begins with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m Friday.The Quota Tournament will conclude with a second 18-hole round that begins with a 10 a.m. shotgun start on Saturday.A M-G Tournament Championship Banquet has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday night.Along with the Quota Tournament, two other golfing events will be staged at the course this weekend.Shortly after Friday’s first round of play, spouses and friends of the M-G players are invited to attend a noon lunch, which will be followed by an abbreviated Women’s Scrambler.The Scrambler will be followed by The Derby, an annual M-G event, which is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. on Friday.The Derby is a nine-hole event that consists of 10 members and 10 guests who shot the lowest gross rounds during the first round of the Quota Tournament. The members are paired with guests (the member who shot the lowest gross round will play with the guest who shot the 10th lowest gross round, and so on) for a nine-hole event that features one team being eliminated at each hole.
