10:00pm – Trophy Ceremony

More players will win more money... earlier!!

Every golfer who reaches the Sweet 16 will receive a crisp, clean $100 bill!!
That’s right! All you have to do is win 2 matches, and you will be $100 richer!!

More players will win more money... in the Calcutta!!
This year, the Calcutta will pay out for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Places!! So that means if we get $6,000 in the Calcutta pot, the breakdown will look like this:
1st Place 40% (at $6,000) = $2,400.00
2nd Place 20% (at $6,000) = $1,200.00
3rd Place 10% (at $6,000) = $ 600.00
4th Place 5% (at $6,000) = $ 300.00
Crime Stoppers 25% (at $6,000) = $1,500.00

More money in the Calcutta pot means those figures will be even BIGGER!!

No more ties for Final Four "losers"!!

In both the 2008 and 2009 Carlos Diaz Crime Stoppers Challenges, the 2 players who lost in the Final Four ended up splitting the money for 3rd and 4th place, rather than playing 9 additional holes of stroke play. (Understandable, considering they already played 45 holes of golf that day!) No ties in 2010!! This year, the first player who gets knocked out of the Final Four will finish in 4th place ($250), while the player who lasts the longest before being defeated in the Final Four will finish in 3rd place ($500). If both players get knocked out on the same hole, the player with the lower handicap will finish in 3rd place ($500), and the player with the higher handicap will finish in 4th place ($250).

If you lose, you can still win... more!!!

4 players from each round of stroke play (Lowest gross, lowest net, 2nd lowest gross, 2nd lowest net) will advance into the next round of stroke play. That means, even if you lose in the first round of match play, you can still win up to $1000!! That’s as much prize money as the player who finishes in 2nd place in the entire tournament!! So if you get knocked off at 9 a.m., simply rally your game, play all day and win BIG!!

If you “dress scratch," you win!!

It’s not how well you play... it’s how well you look when you do it! Before Eric Brennan starts the tournament by smacking his drive down the 1st fairway at 7 a.m., we will award $100 to the golfer wearing the most “unique" golf outfit. Other players with daring fashion sense will receive gift certificates for free stuff. So in closing, if you dress like Carlos Diaz... you’re a winner!

We’re looking for a Cinderella Story!!

In honor of Bill Murray in "Caddyshack," you can be the 2010 Carlos Diaz Crime Stoppers Challenge Cinderella Story. The player with the highest handicap in the Final Four will receive $50!! So you've got that going for ya... which is nice. (And you don’t even have to kill any gophers!)

The Bad Weather Clause
by Carlos Diaz
Bad weather is not expected because God loves (a) racing and (b) my golf tournament. If you remember correctly, it was supposed to rain all day in 2008 AND 2009, but both turned out to be beautiful days. Thanks be to my Guy upstairs. If for some unforeseen reason, there does happen to be unfavorable weather on Saturday, June 19, 2010, it is your responsibility to call the Valle Vista Pro Shop at (317) 888-5313 to find out if there is a delay in play. If you do not call in, and play goes on without you, your match will be forfeited, and you will NOT be refunded your $125 tournament fee. Any play that does not occur on Saturday, June 19, 2010 because of bad weather will be played on Sunday, June 20, 2010. If you cannot play on Sunday, June 20, 2010, your match will be forfeited, and you will NOT be refunded your $125 tournament fee. Any play that does not occur on Saturday, June 19, 2010 or Sunday, June 20, 2010 because of bad weather will be played on Saturday, June 26, 2010. If you cannot play on June 26, 2010, your match will be forfeited, and you will NOT be refunded your $125 tournament fee. Any play that does not occur on Saturday, June 19, 2010, Sunday, June 20, 2010 or Saturday, June 26, 2010 because of bad weather, will be played at 7:00am on Sunday, June 27, 2010, well BEFORE The King Open. If you cannot play at 7:00am on Sunday, June 27, 2010 your match will be forfeited and you will NOT be refunded your $125 tournament fee. But honestly, the above paragraph is completely irrelevant because, as I previously stated, The Good Lord loves my tourney.
