Men's Night September 2, 2010 Results

THURSDAY MEN'S NIGHT

There is a 9 hole and 18 hole tournament each Thursday afternoon. Tee times for the 18 hole event are between 12 noon and 3:00 PM. Tee times for the nine hole event are between 12 noon and 4:30 PM. Players of the 18 hole event who start after 2:00 PM are required to submit their 9 hole results prior to playing the back nine. Eighteen hole scores will not be accepted after 7:30 PM except under unusual circumstances caused by a backup of players.

Cost for the 9 hole event will be $10. The 18 hole event will cost an additional $5.

The total payout for each Thursday’s competition will be higher than past years which will result in somewhat less revenue for the windup. 85% of the entry fees of the 18 hole event will be paid out each night in winnings and an estimated 85% will be paid out from the nine hole event fees. The remaining money will be used for incidental club costs and Men’s Night Windup prizes.

An RCGA handicap is required to play in either the 18 hole or 9 hole events except that participants without a valid RCGA handicap can play with a zero handicap in the 9 hole event. The format of the 18 hole event requires a valid RCGA handicap.

Front nine format

• Stroke play with three flights, currently 0-14, 15-18 and 19 and up; prizes of $20 gift certificates for low gross and low net for each flight.
• If there are 35 or more players playing a full 18 holes then an additional $15 gift certificates will be paid for second low gross and second low net in each flight of the nine hole game. The criteria of 35 or more players could be dropped if the turn out each week is sufficient to occasionally subsidize second place winnings when there are less than 35 players.
• There will be a deuce pot, double deuce pot and eagle pot on the front nine. The pots will be financed by $2 to the deuce pot and $1 to the double deuce and eagle pots for a total of $4 of the $10 front nine entry fee. Payout is in cash.

Eighteen hole format

• The 18 hole event will consist of “blind partners”, total low net score will count. Teams will be chosen strictly by random from those competitors signed up for the 18 hole event in a manner “visible to all”.  If an odd number of competitors is signed up, then a ghost partner’s score will be selected from all the competitors to calculate the total net score. If the team with a ghost score is a winner, the ghost is not paid and the excess cash will be carried over the windup event.
• Lowest total low net, second low net and third low net team scores will receive cash prizes based on 40%, 25% and 20% of the total 18 hole competition entrance fees respectively.

The results of the Thursday night competition will be posted on the Men’s Club bulletin board and on the members web site on this page and will be submitted for publication in a  local newspaper.

It is not necessary to be present for the announcement of the results to collect cash or gift certificates.  Prizes, cash and gift certificates not collected on the evening of the competition can be obtained later in the week from the golf shop. However, some of the hole prizes may not be suitable to be left in the golf shop (such as pies, flowers and other perishables); if no one claims those prizes on behalf of the winner, it will be awarded by some sort of draw or lottery to a person present.

MATCH PLAY

The Men’s Match Play Tournament has changed for this year. It will consist of a double knock out event with the winner of the “A” side winning the low gross and the winner of the “B” side winning the low net. Cost of entering the Match Play Competition is $20 which will be used for purchasing the winners prizes/trophies. Dan Moran will head up organization of the event and he can be contacted at:  or telephone: 250-497-8234.

All competitors will enter the “A” side and be seeded (the lowest handicap will play the highest handicap etc.) No handicaps will be used in playing “A” side events. The looser of an “A” side event will then enter the “B” side competition where full handicaps on the day of the competition will be in effect. The “B” side will not be seeded. The eventual winner of the “A” side will be the Match Play Gross Champion and the winner of the “B” side will be the Match Play Net Champion.

A sign up sheet for the competition will be posted on the bulletin board at the beginning of the year and the pairings will be posted at a later date as will dates for the completion of each round. Completion dates will be strictly enforced. There will be plenty of time for two players to complete their match before the deadline. However, if a pairing is unable to complete their match before the deadline, the pairing must decide a “winner” hopefully by at least attempting a “putt off” or some similar method before “flipping a coin”.

MEN’S CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

The men’s club championship will be held on the weekend of August 28th and August 29th. A sign up sheet will be posted during the year. The deadline to enter is August 19^th on which date the players handicap will be frozen for purposes of the competition. Players will be seeded according to handicaps for the first round and tee times will be posted by August 26th. The second day of competition will be seeded according to the low gross of the previous day’s competition and tee times will be allocated so that the best players from the first day of competition will play last on the second day.

WINDUP

The Men’s Club Windup tournament will be held on October 14. The format and fees have not yet been formulated but will consist of a shotgun start and likely a team competition.

Each time a player participates in a Thursday men’s night event (including the windup), he will have his name entered into the draw of prizes for the windup. A person must attend the windup in order to qualify for the prize draw. Prizes will be selected and drawn for by most valuable first. The prize table will have less variation in value from most to least expensive than in past years without the emphasis on very expensive prizes. The purchase of prizes will give priority to sponsors and local businesses.

All names will be re-entered into the final prize draw for a second chance of winning in order to encourage participants to remain for the entire evening. Again, you must be present to win.

Trophies for the club champions, match play champions and most improved will be given out. The most improved player trophy will be resurrected this year. The BCGA method of calculation will be used for members that have an RCGA handicap on May 1, 2010 and will be calculated using the handicap used for the Men’s Club Championship in September.
