Camarillo, Calif., April 18, 2007 – The California State University Channel Islands 2007 Dolphin Classic Golf Tournament will be held Monday, June 18, at Las Posas Country Club in Camarillo. This tournament will raise funds to establish intercollegiate athletic programs at CSUCI.
The tournament will be played with four-member teams choosing either to use the point-par system, which is more competitive, or the more recreational Callaway scoring system. The players from the winning team of each format will have an opportunity to play in the Million Dollar Shootout – a hole-in-one contest.
The Million Dollar Shootout will be held after regular tournament play. If one of the golfers in the shootout makes a hole in one, he or she wins $1 million.
There also will be a hole-in-one contest during regular tournament play on one of the holes sponsored by Steve Thomas BMW of Camarillo. Any player who makes a hole-in-one on the hole sponsored by Steve Thomas BMW will take home a new BMW vehicle.
Check-in for the event and a welcome from CSUCI President Richard R. Rush will begin at 9:30 a.m. and will include a continental breakfast. The tournament’s shotgun start will be at 11 a.m. A cocktail reception and silent auction will begin at 4 p.m. The Million Dollar Shootout will be held at 5 p.m. and the awards dinner will follow.
