7 The Answers to What We Think Will Be Frequently Asked Questions 1. If you sponsor a team or otherwise bring multiple players, they do NOT have to play together. We recognize that you may want to have your people split up and network so we will try to accommodate that. 2. If you want to add additional players to your sponsor package, the cost is $150 per additional player. 3. All drinks, snacks and dinner will be provided at no additional cost. HOWEVER, any purchases of alcoholic beverages must be from the club s beverage cart or clubhouse. FamilyCare America and Senior Connections will not provide alcoholic beverages. 4. Short of a blizzard or hurricane, we plan to play rain or shine. If The Crossings decides to close the course, we will establish a rain date at that time. 5. You are winning for yourself and others. If a player wins a hole-in-one contest, the winning player gets 50% of the payout and Caregiving Ministries and Senior Connections share the other 50% to support their caregiving programs. Only amateur players are eligible to win (sorry, no professional golfers may participate). The first player to shoot a hole-in-one on a particular hole is the winner for that hole. The first player to shoot a hole-in-one in any other hole-in-one contest is the winner of that contest. 6. Yes, this is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
