Golf Outing
The CBA Institutes Committee has arranged a golf outing for those who wish to partake of the scenic Vail Golf Club Course. The golf outing has been reserved for 40 golfers. The price is $125 for green fees, cart rental and gratuity, and range balls. This will not be a tournament; it's just an opportunity to play in a beautiful setting with your fellow lawyers. Spouses and guests are cordially invited to register. Although it is not a tournament, prizes will be awarded for closest to the pin, longest drive and longest putt. The outing will be set with tee times beginning at 8 a.m. (subject to weather conditions). Vail's policy is that monies will not be refunded if someone cancels within 5 days of September 21. So, if you prepay but cannot play, you will personally need to find a substitute since the CBA will be unable to refund your money
