Doc’s Sports Retreat to sponsor Quad-Tour Challenge
The Quad-Tour Challenge picked up a title sponsor for the 2011 season. Doc’s Sports Retreat in Livonia has agreed to a 1-year deal to sponsor the event, scheduled for July 16 at Whispering Willows GC.
The tournament will formally be called the Doc’s Sports Retreat Quad-Tour Challenge and the format will continue to test the players knowledge of professional golfers. Each player will add 3 pro scores to his/her net score at Whispering Willows for a four round team score. The 3 pro scores will come from the better score of 2 draft choices in each pro tour – the PGA Tour, the Champions Tour and the LPGA Tour. The pro scores will come from their July 10th rounds.
The tournament will feature $20 Doc’s Sports Retreat gift certificates as closest-to-the-pin prizes on each of the 4 par-3 holes. The event will also support English Springer Rescue America, Inc. by donating $5 from every player’s entry fee and 50% of the Springer Putting Challenge to the organization.

The Mulligan Tour continues to grow in 2011, the Tour’s 13th season.

The Tour will conduct more than 40 events in 2011 including 10 tournaments in the West Division, 10 tournaments in the Central Division and 9 tournaments in the East Division. Add in the major championships, and the Ladies Open and the Senior Open, and the total purse during the season is over $3,800.00!!
Once again the Tour will host 2 Qualifying Schools (April 16 and 23) to give new members a head start on establishing a Mulligan Tour Handicap Index. The Q-Schools are not mandatory, but are helpful for new members to get oriented to Tour playing rules and procedures.
The major championship sites for 2011 include Gateway GC (The Memorial), the Majestic at Lake Walden (HP Open), and the Woodlands of Van Buren (Match Play Ch.). The division championships scheduled for August 27 include a return to the Golden Fox for the PLAYERS (Central) Championship, a return to the Coyote Preserve for the WESTERN Championship and, tentatively, a first ever stop at the Orchards GC for the EASTERN Championship. The TOUR Championship will conclude its 3-year run at the Polo Fields G&CC on September 17.
The Mulligan Tour will again have a booth at the 2011 Michigan Golf Show, scheduled for March 4-6 at the Suburban Collection Showplace (formerly Rock Financial Showplace) in Novi. Visit http://michigangolfshow.com/ for details about show.
