Why did my spouse not receive the gift bag?
Every full participant (those participating in daily events as a golfer, shooter, angler or social guest) will receive a bag. If a person has just paid for evening events they will not receive a bag because their fee does not cover that cost.

What should I wear?
All events are “resort casual.” Dress in attire that is appropriate for your activity of choice during the day. At the evening events most men wear khakis, polos or casual button down shirts, some ladies wear skirts and dresses but pants are very appropriate as well. There is a western BBQ where most people dress in western wear. Please keep in mind that many of the evening events are outside so you will want to bring a light jacket.

Can I exchange the shirt/jacket in my gift bag for a different size?
We will always try to accommodate you if we have the size available. We try not to order too many extras so that we can maximize our funding for scholarships.
