RULES
Every year we welcome all of our Certificate Holders, Playing Members, and Employees to challenge their golf skills through friendly competition in our Club Championship Tournament! Members can enter two divisions only if one is the open championship.
In Match Play, the game is played by holes. A hole is won by the player which holes their ball in the fewest amount of strokes (net strokes where applicable). The reckoning of holes is kept by the terms: so many holes up or all square, and so many to play. ***Pick-up official scorecards in the pro shop prior to your match, and turn back in completed scorecards after each match. RECORD EACH PLAYERS' SCORE FOR EACH HOLE PLAYED WITH A NUMBER; IF INTERESTED IN MARKING THE RECKONING OF HOLES, YOU MUST USE A SEPARATE LINE.*** A player may concede a hole or a match at any time prior to the conclusion of the hole or the match. Concession of a stroke, hole, or match may not be declined or withdrawn. This is a bracket-style, single elimination tournament.
Time frames and match pairings for each round will be posted in the clubhouse, website, and emailed. In each round, players must arrange to play their matches on or before the date stated. Any matches not completed in the time frame posted will result in a double forfeit. The finals will be held Sunday, August 10, 2025 starting at 9:00 AM.
- The Championship Division will play from the Black Tee Markers with no handicap involved.
- The Handicap Division will play from the Blue Tee Markers with handicaps playing off the lower of the two handicaps — using 75% of established handicaps.
- The Senior Division (60-70 years) will play from the White Tee Markers — using 75% of established handicaps.
- The Super Senior Division (71+ years) will play from the Gold Tee Markers — using 75% of established handicaps.
- The Ladies Division will play from the Gold Tee Markers, max score on any hole is 12 — using 75% of established handicaps.
- The Handicap, Senior, Super Senior, and Ladies Divisions handicaps will be noted on the match scorecards.
The Divisions playing with handicaps require an ESTABLISHED handicap; we recommend at least three 18-hole rounds of this current year — the more scores you post, the more representative your index. To maintain a current index, you should continue to post ALL adjusted gross scores for rounds played under authorized formats and by the Rules of Golf. IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY ON THE ACTIVE GAM GHIN HANDICAP LIST, ONE WILL BE ESTABLISHED FOR YOU FOR $41 (using your club credit if applicable, or charged to your club account). By signing-up in to play these Divisions, you are accepting these terms. An email will be sent from GHIN letting players know the login info for their account profile; this will allow you to post scores from any course from your phone or computer, and keep up with your handicap all season long!
