There will be special events for long-drive and closest to the hole at both courses.

CENTURY FLIGHT: With the addition of the Super-Senior Flight the Century flight has been eliminated.

Father-in-Law & Son-in-Law: Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law teams may participate in the ASGA Monk Wade Father and Son Championship. The same eligibility applies as above. These teams will compete in the regular division and not in a separate flight and will compete for the overall Father & Son Championship, unless they qualify for the Super-Senior Flight.

GRANDFATHER/GRANDSON FLIGHT:  After several requests over the years, the ASGA is proud to announce a Grandfather/Grandson Flight in the 2008 ASGA Monk Wade Father & Son Championship June 9-10 at Fayetteville Country Club and Stonebridge Meadows Country Club.This effort to satisy those requests, will be in a trial basis for 2008 and may or may not be offered in the future. There will be a limit of 20 teams, which would provide two flights divided based on team handicap.  These two flights will be playing for gift certificates in gross and net in each flight, but would not be eligible for the overall Father & Son championship.  Grandfathers & Grandsons are only eligible for this flight.

PRATICE ROUND: One team member will receive practice round information.
