Featherlite Fall Jamboree golf scramble features great prizes, open to everybody


SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- The 15th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree—the undisputed marquee event for America’s most talented open-wheel dirt modified drivers—takes place at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., Sept. 19-22.

While the racing is serious business, fun and games (and possibly some serious cash) are in store for golfers again this year at the annual Fall Jamboree Golf Scramble where participants will find themselves chasing birdies at one of the most scenic golf courses in Southern Minnesota.

Located just minutes from the racetrack, the Oak Summit Golf Course in Rochester will host this year’s Fall Jamboree Golf Scramble on Friday, Sept. 20.

Several great items will be given away, including drivers, clubs, putters, balls, hats, shirts and shoes. A meal will be served at the turn in the club house. Dozens of flag prizes and post-tournament awards will be up for grabs. There will be cash prizes for the longest drive on two holes, longest putt on two holes and closet to the pin on two holes.

As in the past, the format for this year’s outing will be a four-person best-ball contest with a Texas-style shotgun start. Entry is $100 per person and covers all cash prizes and giveaways, golfing and cart and meal.

Drivers, crewmembers, sponsors, fans and their families and friends are invited to join in the fun. The driving (golf balls) begins at 9:15 a.m. sharp on Friday.

Registration is going on now. To get entered, players must pre-pay and call the USMTS office at 515-832-7944. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today.

Oak Summit Golf Course opened in 1992 when Leon DeCook decided to convert his farm land into a golf course. Nestled among rolling hills, great greens, wildlife and mature trees, the layout will challenge even the most experienced golfer.

Oak Summit Golf Course is located 1/4 mile west of the Rochester Municipal Airport. The physical address is  2751 County Highway 16, Rochester, MN 55902.

Three complete shows are on tap at the high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval for this year’s Featherlite Fall Jamboree. The annual event will also feature USRA B-Mods in action all three nights with a combined total purse of nearly $200,000.

The Deer Creek Speedway is located off of I-90 at Exit 209, then 11.3 miles south on US 63 (0.7 mile north of SR 16).
