Birdies4Bipolar is excited to announce two new wrinkles to this year’s Firecracker at Forest Park on July 28th.

For the first time, we will have two separate divisions. We will have our traditional SHAMBLE format in one division. The winning team in the SHAMBLE format will take home the Cornelius T. Lane Memorial Trophy and each team member will receive a brand new watch from JORD WATCHES. The new division this year will be the SCRAMBLE format. The winners of the SCRAMBLE format will also receive four brand new watches from JORD and take home the brand new Michael Palumbo Memorial Trophy. Michael Palumbo was a talented golfer who grew up playing at Algonquin Golf Club and graduated from St. Louis U. High but unfortunately lost his battle with bipolar disorder in 2010.

So, please join us if you can in either division for the 25th Annual Firecracker!
