Golf Classic & Four-Ball Mixer
Sunday, Feb. 1 – Tuesday, Feb. 3
Cotton Creek at Craft Farms, Cypress Bend at Craft Farms, Lost Key Golf Club, and Peninsula Golf Club
If you are less serious about your score and
more interested in the opportunity to have fun with your colleagues, then the Golf Classic and Four-Ball Mixer are for you. This year’s event offers exciting new skills contests and prizes.
In the Four-Ball Mixer, you will play with a partner, with each of you playing your own ball. The lower score between you and your partner will be the score for the hole. If one of you fails to complete the play of a hole, there is no penalty. Up to four (4) divisions
will be available. Four-Ball
Mixer courses will have a shotgun start at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning.
When you register for the
Four-Ball Mixer, you will need to indicate whether you have a
partner or would like to be assigned one from the pool of players. You and your partner cannot exceed a combined handicap of 45. Only one superintendent/pro may play on a Four-Ball Mixer team, and you must be registered in the two-day GCSAA Golf Classic to compete in this event.
Groupings and hole assignments will be available at on-site registration.
The Golf Classic gets started on Monday with a 9 a.m. shotgun start. In this competition, you will be placed in a flight according to your handicap index, unless you request a senior flight or you are an affiliate or student member.
The point quota scoring system is used in the Golf Classic. A point quota for each round is established by subtracting your verified handicap index from 36. The maximum allowable handicap index for point system scoring is 30. If you have a handicap index over 30, you will be assigned the minimum of 6 points per day. Taking your point total for the round and subtracting it from the quota for the round will calculate the net score.
The quota scoring system point values:
- 0 Double Bogey or worse
- 1 Bogey
- 2 Par
- 3 Birdie
- 4 Eagle
- 5 Double Eagle
To prepare for the competition, you can take advantage of practice rounds on the four Golf Classic courses on Friday, Jan. 30, and Saturday, Jan. 31. Tee time reservations will be available in January 2009.
