Over that time, the event has raised in the excess of $100,000 in Dan Morgan’s memory.
Golf entry fee for the event is $150, and includes lunch, green fee & golf cart, practice facility with range balls, personalized cart signs, tournament scoring, hole contests, heavy appetizers, a sleeve of golf balls, two beverage tickets and various other gifts.
