Teams play a best ball or “scramble” game, whereby the team advances based on the best shot made at each hole. At Hole #17, any player can pay a $10 entry fee to take a chance to win $10,000. The requirement is to make a hole-in-one shot. The prize is courtesy of Mamma’s Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta of South Pasadena.

Awards are for first- and second-place teams and for both men’s and women’s teams’ shots deemed closest to the hole at a designated hole.

Singles are $90 each, and a foursome costs $300 if paid by June 15. The fee is $100 per player on the day of the event. To sign up, contact Alan Vlacich at avlacich@gmail.com .

All proceeds go toward expenses incurred in building and decorating the city’s self-built float for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade that takes place every January.
