What do the Chamber, WEF, A.M. DePrisco Wellesley and Golf have in common?

The Wellesley Chamber Golf Open will be held at the Wellesley Country Club on Monday, July 19. A portion of the proceeds from the 2010 Chamber Open will be donated to Wellesley Education Foundation.

A.M. DePrisco Wellesley offers... A Great way to DOUBLE your gift to WEF ...hitting the "GREEN" if you know what I mean!

Golfers at the Chamber Open will have a chance to double their contribution to the Wellesley Education Foundation (WEF)! At the 7th hole--a downhill 188 yard par three--anyone who reaches the green on their drive will have their gift doubled through the generosity of A.M. DePrisco Wellesley.

The goal is to raise as much for WEF as possible in order for them to increase their funds from this tournament to meet their stated Mission to offer programs that enhance, enrich and maintain excellence in the Wellesley Public Schools. This is truly a WIN, WIN contest with WEF raising funds and A.M. DePrisco Wellesley making a major contribution on behalf of the youth in Wellesley.

A.M. DePrisco Wellesley, a long time supporter of the Wellesley Chamber, continues the tradition of reaching the youth of the town by encouraging the Open contestants to 'HIT the GREEN' for WEF!

All players will have an opportunity to putt for entry into the PUTT for CASH Contest. Here's how it works.

Qualifying putting will be done on the practice green while players move between the 9th and 10th holes. Each contestant gets two putts. Successful players who make one putt will have their name entered into a drawing.

Three (3) names will be drawn for the final round. The PUTT for CASH Contest, with the three finalists, will be held immediately after the conclusion of the Golf Open at about 5:30pm on the 11th Green next to the clubhouse patio.

A bramble starts off just like a scramble: the members of each foursome tee off, and the best drive is selected. After the best drive is selected, all players then play their own ball from that spot-stroke-play style-until each player has holed out, producing four individual scores. The team score will be the one GROSS low ball of the group and the one NET low ball of the group. The net score is obtained by using the player's handicap.
