Dear Men's Member-Guest Participant,

We are pleased to send this acknowledgement of your entry and confirm your spot in the field of the 14th Annual Men's Member-Guest Golf Championship September 25 - 27, 2014. As you may know, we did not need to use a lottery system to equitably determine the field because we have not quite reached our limit of 60 teams. Accordingly, we would like to ask that you encourage your fellow Members' participation. The more participation we receive, the greater the excitement.

This acknowledgement includes the detailed schedule of events for this year’s Championship. Please take a moment to review the schedule and feel free to forward the email to your guest for their review. If you have not yet done so, please register your guest on the Members Only Website or contact the Golf Shop at 707 569 2915 with your guest's name and details.

At the event check-in, we will reconfirm with you the number of dinner guests that you plan to bring to the Awards Dinner at Mayacama on Saturday evening. Your entry fee includes the Awards Dinner for you and your playing partner. Additional guests may be included at $100++ per person.

Please note that there is a 24 hour championship cancellation policy. Any cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance and no-shows will be responsible for 100% of the entry fee unless their position in the field is filled. Please let us know as soon as possible if you must cancel your entry.

Through your support, our Men’s Member-Guest Championship has become one of the premiere events at Mayacama Golf Club. We look forward to welcoming you and your guest to the 14th Annual Men’s Member-Guest Golf Championship!

With all good wishes,
Ted Antonopoulos
Head Golf Professional

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
The format for this championship is Four-ball Match Play (Better-Ball-of-Two) event 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 winners and runners-up will be broken by the results of the earlier head-to-head matches between the tied teams.

FLIGHTS
The field will be divided into ten flights based upon the combined handicaps of the two team members. Each flight will consist of six teams. The Gross Division Flight will play from the Back Tee Markers. Members wishing to compete in this flight must check the appropriate box during registration. If more than six teams enter to play in the Gross Division Flight, the teams will be selected based on the six teams with the lowest combined Handicap Indexes. All other flights will play from the Middle Tee Markers.

OVERALL CHAMPION
The Overall Champion will be decided by a Four-Hole Shoot-Out among the ten Flight Winners. The Shoot-Out will begin at 2:00 pm, immediately following lunch on Saturday, September 27, 2014. The format for the Shoot-Out will be Foursome Stroke Play (alternate shot).

HANDICAP INFORMATION
Members and guests MUST have an established current USGA Handicap Index to compete for net prizes. The Championship Committee will be using your current USGA Handicap Index as of September 15, 2014. Strokes for all matches will be distributed according to the Stroke Index on the scorecard. For players whose handicap is an odd number, ½ strokes will be given. (Example: If a player has a handicap of 9 strokes, he will receive a total of 4-½ strokes per nine-hole match.) The maximum handicap differential between partners is 10 strokes.
