Bob is currently playing in the Montreal Championship at Club Fountainbleu outside of Montreal. And lucky for us, E.J. has been kind enough to offer to send us behind the scene’s info from the tour. We will post information as we receive it, so make sure and check back often!
Below: Outside of Club Fountainbleu. about 30 mins outside of Montreal. E.J. says the wather has been cold and rainy so far with lows around 50 and highs 60.

{OTN’s National Invitational Pro Scratch}
by CarissaStevens on Mon Jun 2010
With Oak Tree National’s 34th Annual Nutcracker member/guest ending this Saturday, I think we are all sad that it is over. But what a fantastic event! It was so great to see so many OTN faces all at once and to meet the guests that accompanied them. Some from right here in Oklahoma and others from all parts of the country. Without a doubt, it was our Members who made this such a special event. They really are the reason that we host it every year. We are already excited for next year’s! But before we get too carried away with planning next year’s Nutcracker, we have another very special event to introduce. Oak Tree National is proud to announce that we will be hosting the first Annual National Invitational Pro Scratch!
The Pro Scratch will take place September 12-14, 2010 here at OTN. The format will be 2-man teams consisting of one professional and one mid-am scratch player. And what are they playing for? Glory, of course! Oh and perhaps a little purse money and some VERY special trophies. This is going to be a very special event for OTN and we look forward to seeing the sign up list we have in the golf shop grow with players and their “padna’s”. So the next time your out at the club, don’t forget to check out the board!
