The details of the day’s activities are as follows:

GOLF:  Tee times will start at 12:00.  All players should report to the pro shop 30 minutes prior to their tee time. Reservations for golf should be made by completing the enclosed Registration Form and mailing it with the appropriate fee to Ms. Mudlaff.  Please remember when making your reservations that each foursome must include a member of Congressional and we have limited tee times, which we anticipate will fill up quickly.  If you are making reservations for more than one and do not have a club member for your foursome, please reserve for only up to three and a club member will be assigned to you.  Carts are available, and each foursome will have at least one caddie.  Please do not switch foursomes after assignments have been made.  Collared shirts, Bermuda-length shorts, or slacks (or skirts for women) are required.  Baseball hats with the visor forward, if you please, soft spikes, and no cell telephones or tablets.

LUNCH:  The “Stop and Go” next to the 10th tee, Blue Course (just ask) will be open. Just announce yourself as being with The Barristers, hosted by Robert Bittman.

TENNIS: Tennis will be offered this year if there is enough interest and there is one Congressional member for each court.  Those interested should contact Ms. Mudlaff.  Attire: Tennis whites only with smooth-soled footwear.  We will then make the arrangements.  Tennis will start at 3:00 p.m.

COCKTAILS:  Cocktails from an Open Bar will begin after golf in the Windsor Room and Terrace above the Golf Pro Shop from 5 p.m. until dinner.  For those interested in attending cocktails ONLY, the cost is $50.

DINNER:  Dinner, with wine, will be served in the Windsor Room at 7:00 p.m.  Sports attire is permitted.  Dinner will be billed separately after the event, usually around $150.00.  Weather permitting, dinner may be outside on the Windsor Terrace.

LOCKER ROOMS:  Locker rooms are available in advance of and following athletic activities.
