The ninth edition of Mill Pond Golf Course's annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Shootout is open for registration, and interested players should not delay in signing up for one of Long Island golf's most popular holiday events.
As usual, Mill Pond's 2015 Turkey Shootout will be a four-person team scramble with a scheduled 8:00 a.m. start. The $69 entry fee covers cart, range balls and a hot breakfast buffet before the round tees off. Players are also entitled to one free beer or soda during or after play. Prizes will be awarded for team score and a closest-to-the-pin challenge. Sign up before the event sells out by calling the Mill Pond pro shop at (631) 732-8249. Pre-payment is required.
Wind will certainly come into play on Mill Pond's open layout, and hard greens could be a factor depending on the late-November chill.
