This year’s event will be held on three of Cog Hill’s four courses, with a shotgun start for all golfers at 12 noon. Tournament registration and lunch are scheduled from 10 to 11:30AM. A cocktail party and awards presentation will follow the tournament at 5PM.

Helicopter Ball Drop
A Helicopter Ball Drop and Million Dollar Shootout will be held when play is finished. In the Ball Drop, each $25 chance gives an entrant one numbered golf ball that will be dropped from a helicopter. The individual whose golf ball lands closest to or inside the cup will split half of the Ball Drop proceeds with the Edward Foundation. This event is open to the public. Participants in the Helicopter Ball Drop do not have to be present to win. To purchase a chance to win, visit www.golfinvite.net/edward.
Fore! Million Dollar Shootout
In the Million Dollar Shootout, golfers can enter for a chance to be selected as one of three golfers to have a shot at $1 million with a hole-in-one on one of Cog Hill’s par three holes.
