Pro-Am
47th Annual Pro-Am Golf Tournament
Riverside Foundation’s 47th annual Pro-Am Golf Tournament occurred Friday, June 7, at the Kankakee Country Club. The highly successful event included a two-best ball-scoring tournament and a scramble. Many awards were given out during the 19th Hole Reception, and funds raised went to benefit the advancement of Neurosurgery at Riverside.
Thank you to Dave Tyson, our event chairman, sponsors, participants, volunteers, and everyone who helped. We greatly appreciate your hard work and dedication.

2024 Format
In order to create additional capacity for golfers of all kinds while preserving the unique tradition of the Riverside Pro-Am, we are offering two unique flights again this year, each with its own style of play. Individual ticket price and all amenities are the same for Flights A and B. Both include a golf professional with each team. Sponsorships will be recognized during both flights.
Flight A (morning)
Flight A will continue to be a two-best ball-scoring tournament. Each team will consist of four individuals: one “A Player” (handicap under 12), one “B Player” (handicap 11-18), one “C Player” (handicap 17-25) and one Golf Professional. Golf Professionals will be selected in a blind draw before the tournament day. Morning participants can build their own team. Golfers who register without a team will be assigned to a team through a blind handicap draw. Flight A will include a skins contest for cash for the amateur players.
All teams are subject to approval by the Kankakee Country Club’s Golf Professional. Handicaps must be provided for all participants. Teams can insert their own substitutions with approved handicaps before the tournament.
Flight B (afternoon)
Flight B will be scramble scoring and will include both sponsored teams and individuals placed on teams by the Pro-Am Committee.
