We’ve received a few questions from folks and we figured many people have similar ones:

Is it open to the public?

Yes.  This year we opened the Old School Golf Outing to the public.  All golfers are welcome.  Overland has been gracious to host us this year and block off the entire front 9 for a 9-hole shotgun.

How do I sign up?

Just complete the information on the Sign Up page or email Mike McFadden (mike.mcfadden [at] gmail.com).

Do people really dress up?

Absolutely.  We will see outfits from the 1800s to the 1970s.  Plaids, ties, bell bottoms, knickers and such are all encouraged.

How much is it?

It’s $40 to play golf and join everyone at the Garden Party.  It’s $20 if you only want to come to the Garden Party.

What is a Garden Party?

This Garden Party is a post-golf event that will have games, drinks, small eats, prizes and a great social atmosphere.  The games include a putting contest with old hickory putters, a chipping contest with a Niblock (hickory shaft 8-iron which looks more like a sandwedge) as well as others.  It will test the skills (or lack of skills) with everyone!

Are there prizes?

Yes.  There will be prizes for best dressed, best old clubs, lowest score, and various other categories.  There is at least one grand prize as well.

What is the grand prize?

If you have not heard yet, the Klatt and Kreckman show will be broadcasting live from the event.  Joel Klatt is the former quarterback of the CU Buffaloes.  The Klatt and Kreckman show will be giving away tickets to the CU vs. CSU game to one lucky winner.
