For those of you who have played in our NIT Qualifier, Chunks at the Chuck, in Alameda before…

Sign ups are open for our 2023 iteration! Cross-posting our Roost notice here:

Hear ye! Hear ye! Signups have begun!!!

Last year, 72 refugees/nesticals joined together in our second NIT qualifier. We raised $6500 for CASA of Alameda, gave away $2000+ in prizes, and had so much fun that we’re running it back, y’all.

We’ll bring back all the magic from last year–the firm and fast conditions, good vibes, a sweet pre-tournament event, a few career-day scores, and helping a local organization. But we’ll also improve the day based on what we learned last year. This year we’ll be:

  1. Playing the entire tournament on the Corica North Course
  2. Simplifying the ways we can contribute to charity
  3. Working to improve the pace-of-play on tournament day
  4. Working with more sponsors to provide snacks and beverages throughout the day
  5. Using Golf Genius for both tournament registration and live scoring

The Details

  • Charity: We’ll continue to support CASA of Alameda County. Every child needs someone in their corner. That trusted adult can be hard to find for children and youth facing the complex foster care system. CASA advocates for youth navigating the complex court system. Donations will be raised through raffle tickets, entry fees, and our pre-event meet up. Last year we hit 5.5K raised with an additional $1k donated by Corica Park. We’d love to hit that number again this year.
  • Course: We have reserved Corica Park North Course in Alameda, CA. We will be playing 27 holes during the day. The course plans on setting two different pin locations for us. So we’ll be getting pretty creative out there!
  • Date: 3/25/23. First tee time goes off at 6:55am
  • Cost: $180 which includes 27 holes + breakfast/snacks + a ton of prizes + a donation to our charity, CASA of Alameda County. You can further support CASA by purchasing raffle tickets for $10 each (unlimited amount).
  • Number of NIT Spots: :construction: TBD. Official NIT spots are still being sorted out by NLU. We will continue to work with them to get a clear answer soon.:construction:
  • Format: Two-person teams (by random draw). Since we’re looping the course three times, we’ll do one loop of Fourball, one loop of Scramble, and one loop of Modified Alt Shot.
  • Field Size: 72 spots! Get 'em while they’re hot.
  • Pre-tournament meet up: :construction: Much like last year, our very own rbartod offered to host us on Friday, 3/24 at his bar The Wreck Room. Details still pending, but this is another great opportunity to hang with the crew, donate some money to CASA, and get tacos and beer in your system before the golf begins. :construction:
