| I would like to thank everyone for a great 2024 Season! Below are a few notes on this season, the Flight Winners for the Points Race, our Player of the Year, and a very important survey that we wish you would fill out so that we can grow the tour in 2025! |  |

| Notes from Jared on the 2024 Season: I think we had a great 2024 Season! We finished the year with one member shy of our best year ever (2022 with 84 members) but we were up 20% in membership from 2023. This year the Columbia Tour added several new features to the events including increasing the prize pools, The Player of the Year Race, the Par 4 Money Hole Challenge, and the Hole in One Pot. We were able to add several new courses to the rotation including Columbia CC, Santee National, and Woodside CC. Moving into next season, I will continue trying to get private clubs to play though prices for clubs are increasing, and it is getting even harder to get onto those courses. However, if we can continue to increase our membership, getting those clubs to host us will be easier to do in the future. I am working on the 2025 Schedule and already have several events lined up. Right now, our Season Opener will be Edgewater on March 1st. |  |
