The One-Day Four-Ball Tournament scheduled for Monday, March 3 at Duke University Club has been cancelled due to the impending weather conditions.  

With the threat of ice and sleet starting mid-day tomorrow, we thought in the best interest of everyone travelling to and from the golf course to cancel the event and reschedule it for a later date.

The rescheduled date is yet to be determined.

All players will be refunded their full amount of the entry fee and will have to sign up for the new tournament again when registration opens.
