12:30 – 6:30 p.m.  $145/person
If ever there was a golf course with a split personality, it’s The Quarry. Designed by nationally known golf course designer Keith Foster, The Quarry is recognized around the country for its unique setting and character. The front nine plays through native rolling grasslands and is reminiscent of British Open links-style courses – no trees, deep heather rough, and an ever-present breeze to bedevil you. However, it’s the back nine that amazes most golfers. Nestled in a 100-year old limestone quarry pit, the back nine holes wind around the 100-foot tall perimeter and challenge the golfer to carry shots over the imposing chasms. Whether a scratch golfer or a weekend warrior, playing at The Quarry will definitely be one of the most memorable rounds of golf you will ever play.

Format will be a four-player scramble with the winners announced during the Gold Leaf Awards Banquet on Saturday evening. The afternoon golf outing includes practice facilities/range balls, round trip transportation from the hotel to the golf course, a box lunch, tournament staff and services, and all taxes and gratuities.
 

San Antonio Tour

12:30 – 5:00 p.m.  $90/person
Sample San Antonio’s unique character as you embark on a tour that highlights some of the city’s fascinating points of interest. A chartered motor coach and a professional tour guide will take you on a journey of discovery to experience the hearty soul and spirit of San Antonio. First, the tour will stop for lunch at the historic Cadillac Bar and Restaurant where you will have the opportunity to sample some of the city’s finest Mexican fare.

Then it’s on to festive El Mercado, an authentic Mexican Market, for some south of the border shopping. Market Square is one square block and encompasses a large area of restored historic buildings with a promenade in between. The largest Mexican market in the United States, El Mercado is filled with small shops featuring imported Mexican goods. Mexican restaurants, cantinas, art galleries, and clothing shops round out the colorful Square.

Next, the tour will continue to the historic Alamo. Tucked among downtown hotels and crowded streets, its’ roughly pitted facade belies its quiet, church-like limestone interior, where even the most casual visitor experiences a feeling of awe while viewing the names of the Alamo heroes inscribed in bronze on the walls. The most famous Mission in San Antonio, the Alamo is where 189 defenders fell to Santa Anna’s army of more than 2000 on March 6, 1836. The heroism of these “Texicans” paved the way to Texas independence. The group will have a personal, guided tour of this sacred monument where you can feel free to ask questions.

Finally, capture the spirit that is San Antonio as you embark on a chartered river barge ride down the famed River Walk. See lush foliage, stately trees, historic buildings, stone bridges, and winding walkways as the River Barge Captain gives a fascinating narrative tour. The group will disembark from the barge at the Hyatt Regency Hotel as the tour concludes.
