McSweeny's/Mission Golf Tournament was Cancelled due to a severe weather threat

This morning, it became clear that the path and pace of Tropical Storm Debby had changed. The window of clearing that had been forecast yesterday had significantly shrunk, and the time that the effects of the tropical storm are going to hit our region is early afternoon rather than late evening.

As I said in yesterday's email, it was our hope that we would be able to hold the tournament as scheduled; however, we no longer believe this can be done safely.

After discussing several alternatives, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today's tournament. We understand the disappointment this may cause and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Where does that leave you?

We encourage you to join us at the Barracks Club House between 11:30 and 1.  If you have participated in the Mission tournament previously, you know that McSweeny's always delivers wonderful gifts to all the players. We also have over 30 beautiful gift baskets for raffle, 100 plus gift cards between $25 and $50 in our balloon pop game, and a 50/50 raffle. McSweeny's famous Michigans and sides from the Barracks will also be available.

As an additional incentive, we will put the names of all teams and individuals, by category, who donate their registration fees in a raffle for the prizes that would have been awarded to winning teams and contest winners. 

We will also be available to provide either full or partial refunds of your registration fees if that is your wish.

If you want to avoid venturing out and would like a full or partial refund of your registration fees, please email me your information so I can mail you a check.
