Thongers,

Get ready for the 3rd Iron Thong Tournament! It will be held at The Golf Club of Texas, San Antonio, Texas on the morning of September 8th @ 8:00am Sharp. The pot will be $1,100.00 dollars with plenty of opportunity to win. The tournament will have three flights (A/B/C) Everyone should have a good time and we hope all members will attend. Prize Money Awarded to all flights and Trophies will be award to Closest to the pin, Long Drive, Fewest Putts, Low Net A/B/C Flights, and of course our traveling trophy that is yours to keep for 6 months with your name engraved on it if you are low man Net over all flights.

This tournament is open to all members of the Iron Thong that have completed 5 or more rounds within the handicapping system and paid their $20.00 semi-yearly dues. If you have fallen short up to this point you can do one of two things.

1. Play every Saturday up to the tournament to post your five rounds

2. Give me any scores you have carded on a weekday you didn't play with the Iron Thong. NOTE: I will need the cards so make sure you bring them and they are entered 1 week before the tournament!

SPECIAL NOTE: If you are unable to card 5 rounds before the tournament your dues will carry over for the March Tournament however you will still need to card 5 rounds next semi-annual season to be eligible for that tournament.

There will be the $5.00 Skin Pool and the optional $5.00 Birdie pool open as normal - however the $1.00 Donation will not be required on March 10th 2007.

The Iron Thong will provide breakfast tacos before the Tournament and lots of ice cold beer after the Tournament - Food will be available at the Golf Club of Texas after the rounds off their full menu of items. We will sit outside on the back patio when we are finished for our awards ceremony.

Please plan to have an extended stay after the tournament for skin and birdie payouts along with the award ceremony. Like all our tournaments we will be shooting video and digital stills for the website - so make sure you put on a happy face and your best golf attire. We would like to add still pictures and video of the winners and wish "Everyone" to be there after the round. This shouldn't take much longer then a couple of hours.

We will also Require that you Pay $5.00 for the mandatory Skins Pool, and an optional $5.00 for the birdie pool. We will pay out all skins for this tournament.

Flighting and Scoring

Determining Flights will be handled by our system and the Iron Thong will be split up into 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 for flights A/B/C on tournament day. You will be playing in groups starting with the lowest handicap on up. You will be assigned a cart and a cart partner based on your index on tournament day. Your partner will score you and you will score your partner. You will be scoring total strokes and putting strokes for each. You will have a specialized Iron Thong score card for this purpose. You will recieve your playing partner and cart assignments the week of the tournament in an email so you know who to hook-up with at the course. In the event of a rules violation or a question concerning a rule you "Must" consult your playing partners in your foursome and resolve it. Do not come back to the club house and expect a ruling!

100% USGA Rules Will Be In Effect!!!!!!!
