ASGA CHICAGO ANNOUNCES THE 15TH ANNUAL 2018 CHICAGO CHALLENGE
TOM SCHWEIHS’ BREW CREW VS RUTH BROWNE’S WINE CLUB
This year’s theme is Beer or Wine. Brewmaster Tom & Sommelier Ruth will lead their teams on the course and at the bar. The winning team will be able to toast their success and the losing team can drown their sorrows. Everybody’s a winner!!!!!!!
This “Ryder Cup” style event will take place on Saturday July 14th & Sunday July 15th at George Dunne Golf Course in Oak Forest. Tee-times begin at 10:00 a.m. Competition formats will be team best ball, alternate shot, team scramble and singles matches.
Following golf on Saturday, we will swap stories and plan strategies for day 2 over dinner and beverages at Hackney’s in Palos Park.
The cost is $165, payable the day of the event. Check payable to ASGA or cash only. That gets you golf, range balls and prizes for the winning team. And tons of fun!!
To sign up for the event, you must:
— Send an e-mail to Tom Ullsperger @ tomu7@hotmail.com;
— Tell Tom your preferred libation (Beer or Wine);
— If you don’t have a preference, you will be placed on a team through a blind draw.
Your decision to sign up for a particular team may be based on your head, heart or taste buds. This informal survey of some golf’s major winners and their preference may help:
BEER

To fairly compete, it is helpful to have a handicap index. However, if you reach out to Tom directly by either e-mail or phone, he will do everything possible to make all interested in competing eligible to play. His phone # is 708-508-1045.
You must sign up by Thursday, June 28th. Teams will be selected shortly thereafter and there will be a pairings party the week before the event for those that want to attend (details to follow).
