At 6:00 PM, players will cap the fun-filled day with cocktails, dinner and an awards ceremony. Conklin noted: "To prevent missing out on a great day of golf on the iconic 105-year-old course overlooking the majestic Hudson River, participants should act now to guarantee their spot before the shotgun blast."
