Owl club golf tournament update (Posted Noon, Sunday 8/6/2023):bg
The weather for Monday’s Owl Club Golf Tournament looks like a bit of a moving target, but based on the course’s best weather forecast as of now, the afternoon looks like the best part of the day with only ‘intermittent showers’ at that time.
WE ARE PLANNING TO PLAY AS SCHEDULED ON Monday, with registration beginning at 11:00 a.m., lunch 11:15 to 12:15 and a 12:30 shotgun start at Crestview Country Club in Agawam, Mass.
If the course becomes unplayable, or the lightning detection horn goes off, we will bring players in off the course for safety, and begin the dinner early in the event we would be unable to complete the round.
We appreciate everyone who is planning to come out to support Owls athletics, and our guest of honor, Kevin Queenin ’70.
Thanks, and we will see you at the course !
