The Ron Babcock Memorial Muskoka Two Man Classic 2020
Every year, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Oct 17th this year), about 100 players assemble in 2 person teams to contest for the oldest 2Man Trophy in Muskoka and likely the biggest trophy in the Muskoka Highlands Clubhouse – the Ron Babcock Memorial 2Man Fall Classic. Players have changed over the years with some of Ron’s friends unable to attend. We miss having Ronnie here – with his classic optimism that he expressed at every turn – good or bad.
Keeping a Muskoka tradition alive, this tournament dates back to the days of Dave Ellis at Muskoka Lakes Golf Club where local lads would have one final contest – with themselves and the weather. The tournament continued on after Dave left Muskoka Lakes and it went with Ronnie Babcock down to the Pines in Gravenhurst. There it was played a bit later – with Ron often regaling us with stories of
This is a pic of the 2014 crowd – as you can see from the skies, it was less than perfect – but conditions are secondary. There is a lot of fun involved and everyone had a great time.
So on to 2020 we go. We would like everyone to register here – online. This will let us get up and going more smoothly on the day of the event.
As a result of COVID-19 restrictions, here are some changes that had to be made to continue with this great tradition:
- This year will feature a mid-morning crossover start, we will have groups tee off on the 1st tee and the 10th tee starting at 10:00am.
- We encourage everyone to arrive a maximum of 30 minutes prior to their tee time to minimize gatherings.
- The Clubhouse will be closed. We will have Food and Beverage service set up outside and the basement will be open for washroom use only. Bring your space heaters and we will have the fire going to help players stay warm.
- Scoring will available on our website and prizes will be mailed or emailed to the winners after the event.
- We serve breakfast before tee off and lunch will be available when you make the turn. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer the dinner portion of the event this year so we will send you home with your own personal pizza.
- Players are asked to leave the facility promptly after their round. Results will be available online.
Registration fees increase after September 30th, 2020.
