Revised Format!  6 holes Scramble/ 6 holes Shamble/ 6 holes Better Ball
You know what a Scramble is..."Shamble" is play your own ball from your team's best drive and "Better Ball" is play your own ball and the best score of the team counts.

We will have an "A" Flight (0-9 Average Handicap)  "B" Flight (10-18 Average Handicap) and a Handicap Division.   Prizes for Lowest Team Score "A", "B", and Handicap, Long Drive, Closest to the Pin.  All proceeds go to support the Sherman Athletic Scholarship Fund and Spring Valley Academy's Athletic Program, including the 2011 Kettering College "More Than A Game" Youth Rally and Basketball Tournament November 17-19, 2011.

This is the ninth year for naming this event after the late, Pastor Walter Sherman.  We will allocate some of the proceeds to the "Sherman Athletic Scholarship Fund" in Walt's honor.  From that Fund, we will award Athletic Scholarships to SVA Students who personify the type of athlete that Walt was and strived to develop.  Last year, we awarded $1,500 in total scholarships to these SVA Sherman Scholarship Athletes:  Rolland Donnelly ($1,000) and Michaella  Thomas ($500)
