Hayward Civic Club Benefit Tournament — August 4th

As part of our major fundraising campaign for course improvements (which you can read more about HERE), we’re bringing back the Hayward Civic Club Benefit Tournament after a hiatus of several years!

The proceeds will entirely benefit our course improvement fund. Individuals can sign up, and the 3-person teams will be assigned by the tournament committee. In addition, these 3-person teams will be playing in 6-somes for some added excitement as you keep an eye on your competition.

There will also be a Calcutta, providing an opportunity to be a winner even if you’re not on the winning team. Full details are below. Sign up in the Pro Shop.

We also wanted to draw your attention to a fun little promotional ad we produced for the Caddyshak Bar & Grill. Give it a look! And feel free to share and spread the word!

Fourth of July Community Picnic and Fireworks — July 4th

The Hayward Civic Club is continuing its annual tradition of hosting a Fourth of July community picnic and fireworks display! Beginning at 5:00pm in the field behind the Primary and Intermediate Schools, there will be food and drink vendors (with a variety of offerings, including burgers, brats, hot dogs, wings, beer, smoothies, shaved ice, and more!), a DJ, and the Hayward Hawks baseball game (starting at 7:00pm).

Additionally, this year will showcase a Little League game on the field prior to the Hawks game, as well as an Ice Cream Sandwich Eating Contest — sponsored by Kemps — at 8:00pm.  There will also be a series of kids games starting at 7:00pm.

The fireworks show will begin after nightfall, roughly at 10:00pm. This is always one of the most fun evenings of our summer season, and we hope you’ll join us to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day!

We are also looking for volunteers to help with working the beer tent, parking and crowd control from the hours of 5:00pm to 9:00pm, additional hands for the ice cream eating contest, as well as volunteers for clean-up effort in the early morning hours of Friday, July 5th.

This Fourth of July picnic was born through the efforts of our membership and is only made possible through the efforts of our current membership taking part.  If that is something you’d be willing to assist us with, contact Ben Kanters at the Pro Shop.

Donations or contributions to keep this great event alive would be greatly appreciated, as well!

Swing King Hole-In-One Contest / “Roll Back the Clock” Fish Fry — June 28th

Swing King Hole-In-One Contest

To add a little extra excitement to rounds at Hayward Golf Club, we’ve partnered with Swing King to offer guests and members a Hole-In-One Contest on Hole #3. Those who are interested in entering may sign up in the Pro Shop for a $5 chance to win $10,000, or a $10 chance to win $20,000.

A solar-powered camera behind the the green on Hole #3 will capture the action in dynamic fashion, and if you’re lucky enough to ace the hole, the footage of your experience will be a keepsake that you can have!

All proceeds derived from the contest will go towards our course improvement initiatives, which are outlined HERE.

“Roll Back the Clock” Fish Fry — Friday, June 28th

Our next Fish Fry dinner will be held on Friday, the 28th of June! The price will be $13.99 – all you can eat – and the menu will include:

• Broiled or Deep-Fried Pollock
• Coleslaw
• Baked Potato or Fresh-Cut French Fries
• Breadsticks

We will also be offering two walleye options: walleye cheeks for $15.99 and walleye fillets for $23.99. Both will come with the same sides as the regular menu, but these will not be all you can eat, however. We will be serving from 5:00pm to 9:00pm in the Caddyshak Bar & Grill.

To make a reservation, call the Caddyshak Bar & Grill at (715) 634-2460.

Finally, we’re continuing to thank our Hole Sponsors for their ongoing partnership with us! This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Sysco, the sponsor of Women’s Tee on Hole #13.
