You’re invited to join Epic Experience in our inaugural Golf Simulator Tournament! The event is a fun, competitive fundraiser that supports programs that empower cancer thrivers to live beyond cancer!
The tournament will run from November 26th – December 15th. The format of the tournament is a scramble with the ability to purchase additional mulligans. Once you purchase your scramble twosome you have three weeks to come in and schedule your tee time to record your scores. The TRN will record all scores and we will present prizes to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams at our awards ceremony on December 16th from 2-4pm at The TRN Arvada. Each 2 person scramble team will include food and 2 comped drinks at the Awards Ceremony.
The good news is that the weather will be perfect, you won’t lose any balls, and you’re making a difference in the lives of cancer thrivers.
The bad news? You still can’t hide that slice in your swing!
