The contest will be held on Saturday from 9:30 am til 4:30 pm with a putt off in case of a tie on Sunday at 12:30 pm.

Friday Night Cookout
This year’s Cookout will be outstanding as usual, it will be held on the Magnolia Grove Clubhouse Veranda. This gathering will allow our players a chance to socialize with one another and “talk some trash” before tournament play begins.

Massages
By popular demand, once again the Alabama Oilmen are please to offer stress relieving massages which are free of charge to our sponsors and guests. Depending on the schedule of the massage therapy department at Fortis College, we expect at least ten massage tables and massage therapists on hand Saturday and Sunday from noon till 4:00 pm. They will be located under the Clubhouse Veranda or a tent near the clubhouse and we urge you to take advantage of this relaxing service. Because of the number of golfers who will surely take advantage of this new service, we have asked that the massage therapists limit the massages to a maximum of 15 minutes. Tipping is discouraged as these masseuses are students at Fortis College.

Cook-Out / Door Prizes
The Annual Cook-Out, generously sponsored again by Industrial Valve, will be held concurrent with the main door prize give out on Saturday night under the big tent behind the clubhouse. Once again music great food and Draft Beer will be provided. As always, the delicious food provided will be the topic of conversation on Sunday morning. A cash bar will also be available for this event. The music will start at 6:00 pm along with the start of the cook-out. The actual door prize drawing will begin at approximately 8:00 PM. Traditionally, the Alabama Oilmen’s Invitational Golf Tournament is famous for the unbelievable amount of door prizes given away. As always expect the quantities and value of the door prizes to be greater this year than in years past. Remember, you must be present to win a Door prize.

Food / Beverages
A complimentary breakfast buffet will be available each morning in the Club House Grill and will be served at approximately 6:00 am. And of course, one of the most talked about benefits of our tournament is the numerous cook tents which will be scattered throughout the course (approximately one every three holes). Also, on-course concessions will be provided on both championship courses all weekend.

Hole Prizes
Hole prizes for longest drive, longest putt etc. will be on many of the holes and we anticipate some major hole-in one prizes on select par-threes.

Charitable Contribution
As has been the case in year’s past, the Alabama Oilmen’s Invitational will donate a portion of our tournament proceeds to a worthy charity. This year we’ve selected Magic Moments to be the benefactor. Your participation in our tournament is very much appreciated by this charity.
