The 16th Annual John Muir Golf Tournament
supporting the John Muir Nature Trail In Van Cortlandt Park
ASF is very pleased to announce that we will be holding our annual John Muir Golf Tournament - scheduled this year for Friday, September 13, 2013.
Golf Tournament Co-Chairs John Hunter, Ian Phillips and Alan Bain invite you to register for a great day of golf.
This year Scotland is celebrating, and recognizing, 'The Year of Natural' - and a leading figure recognized within the year is that of John Muir, who is considered the "Father of American Conservation".
Proceeds will benefit the upkeep of the 1.7 mile John Muir Nature Trail, an important aspect of Van Cortlandt Park and community life.
We are organizing the Tournament differently this time giving participants the opportunity to give a specified donation to the Trail within their registration. Please help us to help maintain it.
The Clubhouse has been undergoing MAJOR renovation
but by popular request we have simplified the Tournament to allow it to go forward.
Registration includes : Pre match box lunch, Golf Cart, Prizes, with good company and competitive golf.
Schedule of the Day :
Registration for golfers will be at 12:30 pm - for a 1-2pm tee time.
The optional Post Event, to be paid for individually, will take place at a local restaurant. As in previous years additional guest tickets will be available.
The Van Cortlandt Park John Muir Trail, named for the renowned Scottish born naturalist, was established in 1997 as the first east-west connecting trail in the park. Van Cortlandt Park has 1,146 acres of forest, wetlands and meadows with 13 miles of trails.
We look forward to your joining us on Friday, September 13, 2013.
Register to play online below, or by mail or fax using this downloadable form.
The form offers the flexibility of making an extra, designated donation to support the ASF and/or the upkeep of the John Muir Nature Trail.
