After doubling attendance from Year 1 to 2, The Record Open has increased capacity in the third go-round, thanks to the expansive facilities of the Wilmette Golf Club.

All participating golfers will receive 18 holes with a cart; a meal from The Lawn Grill, the new restaurant housed in the Wilmette Golf Club; multiple drink tickets; and chances to win prizes for winning a number of contests, including lowest group score, Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin. 

Last year’s tournament was a nailbiter with Steve Weir winning a putt-off to break a tie at the end of the round.

Check in for the tournament begins at 2 p.m. with a shotgun start at 3 p.m. The format is a scramble, in which a team of four selects the best shot among the group and all golfers take their next shot from that location.

The overall winners in the first two Record Opens were:

• Record Open I: Monica Thompson, Alex Thompson, Julia Goebel and Julie Saltzman
• Record Open II: Steve Weir, Andy Warner, Andy Kulick and Andy Schaeffer*
* Decided by tie-breaking putt-off
