All teams had options to pay for mulligans and a creative way to further the advancement of their ball on a day full of crazy antics. Bowen Center sponsored a hole where golfers paid to advance a remote-controlled car to improve their tee-off position. At the end of the day, Bowen Center presented Beaman Home with $2,076 raised by their RC challenge.

Other contests the players participated in were the longest drive, longest putt, and closest to the pin. The longest drives were won by Chapman Smith and Nikki Lemon.
