 The 2020 Olney Open Tournament is scheduled for September 21st

, 
We know that this year's Olney Open will be held under difficult circumstances due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Olney Lions Club and the Montgomery Country Club are taking  all possible measures to ensure the safety of the golfers, workers and staff (see below). We hope you will be able to attend.

Due to the pandemic restrictions, this year's silent auction is being held virtually. Valuable items, including gift coupons from local restaurants and merchants as well as rounds of golf are ready for your bid.  Go to https://www.32auctions.com/olneylionsclub to view the items and bid on them. 

​

Remember Officer Noah Leotta and All First Responders

Montgomery Country Club 
20908 Golf View Drive, Laytonsville , Maryland 20882.  

Shotgun start at 9:00 AM.
 
This tournament will also contribute to the Police Officer Noah Leotta “Act Responsibly Scholarship” sponsored by the Olney Chamber of Commerce and supported by the Olney Lions Club.
 
We anticipate a large field and an early sell out with the addition of Noah supporters.  So, register soon to secure a foursome (and help with our planning)!
  
We also need sponsors, raffle prizes, and auction items. Help us out and be a sponsor! Click here for a team registration form, and here if you would like to be a sponsor or provide raffle or auction items. We thank you for your participation in our tournament.

We plan to implement all necessary COVID-19 safety protocol to ensure a safe event.
  • MCC will implement extensive cleaning and sanitation.
  • Player capacity will be capped as Montgomery County recommends.
  • Cart usage will also be implemented as Montgomery County recommends.
  • Presently, carts are single occupancy.  MCC is looking into installing Plexiglas dividers.
  • We will be conducting a screening process for players prior to entering the facility.
  • We will also ask players to sign a waiver form.
  • A touch-less check-in process will be used with credit/debit transactions only.
  • Volunteers and players will maintain 6 feet social distancing per County guidelines.
  • Face masks should be worn when not playing, we will have those available if needed. Our volunteers will always be wearing face masks and gloves while working.
As far as social distancing, you will have the entire facility; so, guests can sit in ballroom, outside patio, or grille.  
MCC is also thinking about placing Plexiglas to separate the food presentation from the attendees. We may have to put one hamburger and one hot dog on a plate and serve or set up as buffet with Plexiglas and staff serving. We will reduce the number of auction items, possibly have an on line auction, and eliminate the raffle.  We plan to have door prizes.
As Valencia, Events Coordinator at MCC, says:  I know these are crazy times! We will make it work!!

The Olney Lions Club wishes to thank the people and businesses that continued to support our tournament this year.
