Rapid City Rush News Release


(Rapid City, SD) - The Rapid City Rush announced today that the second annual Rapid City Rush Golf Tournament has been pushed back to Saturday, October 3rd . Inclement weather is the reason for the 24 hour move; however, the event will still begin with the Budweiser $100,000 Shootout at 8:30 am followed by the 9 am Shotgun Start. The tournament will again take place at The Golf Club at Red Rock in Rapid City which has been voted the #1 Public Golf Course in South Dakota four years straight by Golf Week Magazine and Golf Digest.

All of the festivities and prizes are still offered including prizes on all four of the par 3 holes capped off with the opportunity to win a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro on the 12th hole courtesy of Queen City Motors of Spearfish. Other items include complimentary gift bags, lunch in the club house, tournament prizes as well as a silent auction that will include items such as signed specialty jerseys.

All of the 2009-2010 Rapid City Rush players and coaches will be in attendance not only to sign autographs, but to take part in the golf outing. This year's tournament will follow a "step-aside scramble" format, and will allow a member of the Rush to join each team to create a "five- some". Players will also be able to participate in the various putting, driving and closest to the pin contests as part of the tournament.
