Pickleball anyone??: New this year is the CLC Pickleball Tournament. Don’t want to golf or shoot? Only have time for a few hours rather than a couple of days? Them we encourage you to come out and play some pickleball with us! Meadow Lark has a fantastic pickleball facility, and equipment will be provided if you don’t have your own. You’ll be able to register for just this activity on its own – add on other activities like receptions, meals, or the Friday finishing barbecue. You don’t have to be a member of the CLC to participate – this activity is open to all MCA members. Come out and have some fun while learning all about the MCA’s Construction Leadership Council.

Golf Scramble & Best Ball: Known for its fast, undulating greens, Meadow Lark Country Club’s course features the “River Run,” spanning holes 15 to 18, and finishes with a demanding approach along the river. The course will host the MCA Summer Outing scramble and Best Ball competition this year. Tune up your game during Thursday’s opening round and submit your individual score to be eligible for Best Ball prizes. During Friday’s scramble, foursomes will be set using golfer handicaps and Thursday scores. Trophies are awarded to the MCA’s winning scramble team during Friday’s BBQ at the conclusion of the event. On course prizes will be awarded for each hole and make sure you visit with MCA member hole sponsors as they will be handing swag, snacks and beverages during your rounds.

Trap Shooting: The Great Falls Trap & Skeet Club has 14 traps, a skeet range, a rifle & pistol range, and PAT traps. They offer Canterbury voice calls and ERAD voice release system. Day or night are both acceptable as there are nine fields with lights. For our MCA members that would prefer to spend a couple days blasting away at some orange clays rather than chasing around a white golf ball, this is the event for you! Stick around for Friday’s “Annie Oakley” competition to find out who is the sharpest shooter in the Association. Trophies are awarded to top two-person team. Afterwards, shooters are invited to head over to Meadow Lark Country Club for more prizes and the Friday barbecue.

Thursday Evening Banquet & Calcutta: After Thursday’s activities, participants and attendees will gather at Meadow Lark Country Club for an evening of entertainment, including a reception, banquet, competitions, raffle, and the main event – the Calcutta. Golf and trap teams will be announced and auctioned off to the highest bidders. Remember — you must have cash to participate in the Calcutta! The MCA Associates Division is responsible for putting on the Summer Outing, and all proceeds generated are used to fund the Associates Presidential Scholarships for high school graduates and current college undergraduates. This year, the Associates awarded twelve scholarships in the amount of $2,000 each to recipients whose parents or guardians are members of the MCA.
