How does the Calcutta fundraiser work?
(Example: Jim Johnson is a golfer on Wednesday. Mary Jones pays $20 and buys a Calcutta envelope that contains Jim Johnson’s name printed on the card inside the envelope. After the Wednesday Tournament, Jim Johnson is announced as the 2nd place winner using the Callaway scoring system. Mary Jones is now the winner of the 2nd place Calcutta prize.)
Prizes for the winning Calcutta envelope holders is based on a 100% payout of all money collected.
