***IMPORTANT INFORMATION***

The dates for the 2025 Geist Reservoir Senior Open Tournaments have been determined. As most are aware, as these events are limited to 25 boats, the field will fill quickly. It is suggested that teams contact either Chip or Lisa Ayers to determine availablity prior to submitting payment.

We are looking forward to another fantastic season in the Geist Reservoir Senior Opens!

God Bless,

Chip & Lisa Ayers

*NOTE- Teams will have the option to withdraw from a tournament or have their entry fee moved to the following event (providing there are positions available) if the tournament director(s) is notified no later than 8:00 PM on the Sunday prior to the event. Any team who fails to contact the director(s) prior to the Sunday deadline will be considered a "No Show" and that team's entry will be included as part of that tournament's payout. 

Should anyone have any questions, please contact either Lisa or Chip Ayers.
