There is still time to sign up for the 2013 Member-Member Championship, June 28 – 30 and we are looking for a few more teams to complete this year's field of players. Reach out to your fellow Members and recruit a partner or contact the Golf Shop and we will help pair you with another Member. See the schedule of events below for all the festivities surrounding the championship. This is a great way to become acquainted with other Members and play golf with someone new!
CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT*
The format for this Championship will be Four-Ball Match Play (Better-Ball-of-Two) using 100% of your Course Handicap. Five 9-hole matches will be played within each flight. Scoring for these matches will be based on the following point system:
- Hole Won: 1 Point
- Hole Halved: ½ Point
- Maximum, Points per 9-Hole Match: 7 Points
The team accumulating the highest point total in each flight for the five matches will be declared the Flight Winner. The team with the second highest point total will be declared the Flight Runner-Up. Ties for Flight Champion and Flight Runner-Up will be broken by the results of earlier head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
FLIGHTS
The field will be divided into Flights based on the number of entries (Two Women’s Flights and Four Men’s Flights). The combined Course Handicaps of the two team Members will determine which flight the team will be assigned. Each Flight will consist of six teams. Play will be from the following tee markers:
- Men’s Championship Division: Back Tees
- Men’s Division: Middle Tees
- Women’s Division: Forward Tees
OVERALL CHAMPION
The Overall Champion will be decided by the total number of points earned for the five 9-Hole Matches.
