How does the Calcutta fundraiser work?

The Calcutta fundraiser works like this: There will be randomly numbered envelopes, each containing the name of one of the golfers playing in The Holly Stover Golf Tournament on Thursday morning, written on a card inside. Each envelope costs $20 (available at the registration desk) – so you are blindly purchasing the name of a golfer. After the Tournament, scores for each golfer are calculated based on the Callaway system. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place golfers are then announced based on their Callaway scores. If the envelope you purchased contains a golfer’s name that came in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place using the Callaway scoring, you win the same place prize for the Calcutta.

(Example: Jim Johnson is a golfer on Saturday. Mary Jones pays $20 and buys a Calcutta envelope that contains Jim Johnson’s name printed on the card inside the envelope. After the Saturday 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.
