FARMINGTON, NM — The Captains Club announced the registration period for the 2021 Carl Spackler Open will reopen in on April 1, 2021. The period will end promptly on April 15. The postponed 54-hole golf event will hold its practice round on June 10, 2021 with 5 nights lodging included.

"We require participants not listed on the website as 2021 participants to register again online," said Chairman of the Captains Club Greg Long. "We have shrunk the registration period down to two weeks. Everyone must have 4+ posted scorecards in the website database and submit the entire $519 event fee prior to April 15."

The 20th event is already planned and will accept the first 92 registrations. Nothing has changed logistically except the date moved one day forward to June 10. Remember the golf dates are Thursday-Monday. The event has chosen not to open registration early with so much unknown surrounding the pandemic.

"We are NOT collecting a deposit in 2021," says CFO Rick Dosky. "We are collecting all of the $519 by March 31. Participants listed on the website who have not paid at least $519 by April 15 will be removed from the website so the website correctly reflects an accurate 2021 roster."

The tournament details are open to the public and available online at carlspackleropen.com. "The 20th event is not traditional and cannot stress reading the registration process slowly and carefully," added Long. "This particular event has expanded and involves important details."

The 20th Carl Spackler Open is scheduled to be played in New Mexico at Pinon Hills Golf Course. The tournament office is expecting between 60 to 64 golfers.

Southwest, United, and Delta Airlines have eliminated change fees for flights purchased. Most participants who were registered last year should have a credit from a 2020 airline ticket. Anyone can make airline reservations today if they so desire to do so. Durango, Colorado has abbreviated rental car hours, which should be considered before buying tickets to and from Durango.

Replay rounds for the event are $25 each. “The event will collect replay rounds for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, “ says Greg Long. “Unpaid golfers who do not want to send a second payment can add $25 for each replay round. The traditional scramble will be held on Friday after Round 1 of golf tournament. Options for specific replay rounds will be available for selection in April 2021. The participant option process will be cut down by 80 percent because no apparel will be ordered.

The 2021 Carl Spackler Open is a 4-day event and includes a 54-hole golf tournament and practice round. Event information can be found here. http://storage.poststats.com/cso/2020.pdf
