This year we anticipate a full house. The entry fee is only $200 per team. We will have a team prize for the lowest score and 3 blind draws for money.

How did Greenville earn this very elusive award? We have 7 areas in reporting that need to be done to earn this award. Some are actually easy because it just requires someone to transmit the paper work and some require a concerted effort by the membership. The 7 steps for this award follow. Congratulations!
