Due to popular vote...

This is the game for Sunday, March 30th.

9-hole, 1-man scramble + skins
This game is played EXACTLY like the Wednesday Night Scramble, except you have no teammates. 2 tee shots, 2 approaches, 2 chances for birdie/par/triple... etc.

Check-in time: 7:30 AM
Tee Time: 8:00 AM

Cost: $30 for game + Green Fees
$30 Breakdown:
--$15 Scramble Tournament
--$6 Skins
--$3 Closies
--$3 Long Drive
--$3 Club Fee

Green Fes:
$11 to walk for SGC MEMBERS
$19 to ride for SGC MEMBERS

$14 to walk for NON-MEMBERS
$22 to ride for NON-MEMBERS

Therefore, a non-member who wants to take a cart would pay the most, $52.
For an SGC member walking it would only be $41.

The game will be a tournament, with 1/3 handicap for the scramble, 1/4 handicap for skins. Closest to the pin and long drive contest will only be applicable for your FIRST shot in this scramble format.

Da Rulez- (in a for instance manner)
The player will play two balls from the tee on #1. The player, we'll call him Frank, then selects the better of those two shots, and plays two approach shots from this position and selects the better shot, which in my example is on the green. Now Frank will putt two balls from this better shot position. If he holes out on the first putt, the second putt is unnecessary.

The other difference here will be that it is a tournament... which means that there will be no arbitrary gimmes. The gimme length will be a standard putter GRIP length, which is less than 1 foot. Otherwise, a putt isn't "good" until it hits the bottom of the cup.

This format continues for all nine holes with 2 exceptions/things to think about.

1. Closest to the pin: #5, #6, #8

• Only the 1st tee shot can count as closest to the pin. This is important for two reasons. The first reason is that you can't try to just hit the green somewhere and then try to go flag hunting. The second (more important) reason, is if you hit a first shot 15 feet from the pin and the second shot 2 feet from the pin... if you want the closie, you've got to putt from 15 feet. If you select that second shot (for an easy birdie), then you forfeit the right to that closie (the 15 foot shot).

2. Long Drive: #4

• The long drive hole will be #4 since it's the straightest and most wide open shot. Since it's nearly impossible to determine where the fairway ends and the rough begins, the boundaries for the long drive will be the trees on the left and the out of bounds fence on the right. ANYWHERE in between is fair game for the long drive... which will help if #4 is into the wind and we're swinging at the golf ball like a monkey having a seizure!!!
• The long drive, similar to the par 3 contests, will count only for your FIRST tee shot. If you hit your second ball a little farther, but think you can win the long drive with your initial tee shot, you MUST play the first ball.

We will be paying out to 1st and 2nd place in the tourney... maybe even 3rd if we get enough players!

A rule sheet and official tournament rules sheet will be distributed to all players on the day of the event. This should be a lot of fun!!!

Non-members are encouraged to attend, everyone invited will need a verifiable handicap if they expect to get their strokes... or they must play as scratch. We want to invite extra people to try to grow our membership and it's always more fun when we have a big group out there... more money for HECTOR.
