Is there anything more distinctly American than a member-guest tournament? But for minor variations, you know the drill. Multiple days, multiple flights, cash pools, tee gifts, beverage stations galore, skills challenges, red meat for the stag dinner and more varied fare when the spouses come to dance under the moonlight, maybe a shootout to decide the overall champions, cigars, hugs, jokes, uninterrupted quality time with a person important to you. The member-guest is a golf carnival.
