Site for 2012 Kenny Classic is Uncertain.....
In case you haven't heard, the
Hampden Country Club, site of
the last five Kenny Classics, is in
financial jeopardy and has closed
early for the 2011 season. The
future of the Club is uncertain at
this time, but HCC personnel
are confident that all issues will
be resolved and the Club will be
back in business in the Spring of
2012.
So...for the time being, we are
still planning to host the 19th Annual Kenny Classic at Hampden CC on Friday, June 22, 2012, but are also considering other options. We will keep you posted on any and all developments regarding the location of the 2012 Classic.
Registration and Fees:
Because of the uncertainty regarding the site of KC XIX, The fee to participate in the 2012 Classic is still to be determined As it has for 19 years, the KC strives to provide great value for your fees, including 18 holes of golf with cart, a very nice tournament participant gift, and the can't miss post-Classic dinner party. In addition, we ask that you bring a prize to contribute to the exciting KC Charity Raffle (of at least $10 in value per player, or get together and bring one gift of at least $40 value per team).

There is also the opportunity to become a Kenny Classic Hole Sponsor. For a $150 contribution, you will receive signage on the golf course the day of the event, as well as a year-long posting on our website. Just send us a jpg version of your logo, and we'll take care of the rest. For those looking for unique and distinctive ways to become involved as a sponsor, please contact Tim or Chris for several different options or to discuss any ideas you may have.
Please plan to arrive at Hampden CC at least 30 minutes prior to the 10:00 am shotgun start on June 24th, allowing you enough time to register, pick up your participant gift, etc. Also, remember to bring your foursome's prize contribution for the raffle table! All proceeds from the raffle go directly to the Robert J. Kenny Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Barton Camp.
Format:
The Kenny Classic is a scramble tournament. This format allows the team to play the best shot of the foursome at every stroke. For example, after all four team members tee off, the team decides which tee shot is best, and the three remaining players pick up their golf balls and head to that location. All four players play from that spot, and so on. When hitting from the chosen spot, team members are allowed to drop within a club length of the original shot location, no closer to the hole. All four players play every shot, regardless of whose shot was just chosen.
The men hit from the white tee markers, while women hit from the red tee markers. Unless otherwise stated, USGA and Hampden C.C. golf rules apply. At the close of your round, please be sure to turn in your scorecard (with the names of your foursome clearly indicated) at the Pro Shop. There will be prizes awarded in both Low Gross and Low Net categories.
Contests:
There will be two Closest To The Pin contest holes and two hole-in-one contests. A donation of $5.00 is required to compete for the 50/50 hole, with the pot being split between the winner and the Clara Barton Camp. Tee shots must stop on the green to be eligible for both Closest To The Pin holes. There will also be a Straightest Drive contest with prizes awarded for both men's and women's best.
