 The 21 Hole Salute is slated for July 13th and 14th of 2013. Don't let the "C-Tier" designation fool you. We feel like we can run a popular event with great support while cutting down on costs. The price of operation for a C-Tier is much more player friendly.
Practice your Superhero throwing and RL Smith as we look forward to showing off one of the areas highest rated courses!

Good news!
There has been some concern about playing a 21 hole tournament at a 18 hole course. The concern is that people will not know the approximate round ratings of the everyday course prior to worlds. The 21 Hole Salute and the PDGA have found a way to come up with ratings of the 18 hole course. These will be posted on the website after the tournament is completed and prior to Worlds!
Just another reason to play! |

The "21 Hole Salute" is in honor of fallen officer Robert L Smith. The following is the story of officer Smith from the CMPD website. In the early hours of Thursday, January 15, 1987, Adam Three Officers
responded to a call for service regarding a subject shooting into a condominium complex on
Spyglass Place. When they arrived at the scene, the officers attempted to locate the
subject firing the shots. During the manhunt, Officer Robert L. Smith was shot fatally.
This 7 year veteran of the Charlotte Police Department was 27 years old at the time of his
death. A subject was subsequently arrested for Officer Smith's murder. Approximately
800 people attended the memorial service and 1,000 were present for the funeral services.
To honor Officer Smith's memory, the wives of Adam-3 officers and other officer's wives
tied yellow ribbons to every utility pole from the church to the cemetery.
