Christmas In The Park Update

There's still time to enter the Christmas in the Park tournament!

All golfers are encouraged to bring a toy for the Toys for Tots drive. Those who bring a toy will have their cart fees waived (A $20 value!) More importantly, some child will wake up Christmas Day to the thrill of having a new toy under the tree. Even if you are planning to walk in the tournament we encourage you to bring a toy for this worthwhile cause. Toys should be new and in the original wrapper. For more information about the local Toys for Tots drive visit http://little-rock-ar.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/local-contact-us.aspToys

The current forecast for the weekend is for clear and cold weather: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/72205?from=36hr_fcst10DayLink_undeclared Just right for a Christmas tournament!
