Space limited for 2013 Rhinelander Athletic Booster Club golf scramble
Rhinelander GM Auto Center returns as the title sponsor for this year's tournament. With the title sponsorship, Rhinelander GM Auto Center is donating $3,000 to the ABC.
"Rhinelander GM Auto Center is excited to be a part of this year's Athletic Booster Club Scramble," said Tarsie Goes, Rhinelander GM Auto Center marketing coordinator. "ABC does an outstanding job of supporting youth sports in our community, and living up to our value of being good community citizens. It only seemed right to pair up for this fun event at the Rhinelander Country Club."
Rhinelander GM will also provide the hole-in-one prizes on all six of the par 3s during the 18-hole round. The biggest prize will be on the par-3 fifth where golfers will have a chance to win a 2014 Chevy Impala, valued at over $33,500.
"Participants will be supporting a great cause and have the chance to win the stunning all new re-designed 2014 Chevy Impala," Goes said. "It's going to be a fun event."
Back by popular demand, the ABC and Rhinelander Country Club will give players the opportunity to sink a clutch putt in the Aspirus Putting Challenge. For $5, players will get three chances to sink a pre-determined putt on the practice green. The player who sinks the most putts out of three will win the jackpot, with a putt-off at the end of the round, in the event of a tie. Thanks to the sponsorship of Aspirus Clinic in Rhinelander, the jackpot will be at least $75 plus one-half of contest sales.
The Rhinelander ABC Golf Scramble, sponsored by Rhinelander GM Auto Center, is a five-person Florida scramble. Players register individually and are grouped into fivesomes by the pro shop prior to the tournament.
