Updated: 4/13/21
These are the rules for our 2021 Birdie Bounty initiative, and while they may seem limiting, especially with money involved, I don't want this to be something taken too seriously. Just have fun, putt offensively, and make some *real* birdies (see below) -- you'll be fine!
OBJECTIVE
Attain at least 1 birdie (or better) on all 18 holes at Stoneleigh during the year.
QUALIFICATIONS
Buy-in = $100 (main bet) + $20 (team bet vs Ian)
Birdies or better qualify
Play must be from BLUE or GOLD tees
Putt it out (no gimmes)
Play it down!
Exception: if playing Doom Group and group is doing Lift, Clean, Place (LCP) in closely mown areas (aka fairways/fringe)
Must play a full 18-hole round consisting of both front/back 9's
Exception: competitive 9-hole matches/events count (i.e. Men's League, Member-Guest, Shootout, etc.)
Your regular afternoon 9 will NOT count, as it would allow people to target the sides they need more birdies
Qualifying rounds should be played with at least 1 other person. ** Update
Bet is purely time-based, no round counting -- play as much as you can to improve your odds
Must obtain all 18 birdies to qualify for any portion of the pot
Anything less than 18 birds will not place
Last day to birdie out is 12/31/2021
PAYOUTS (main bet)
Theme with our club is to pay top 30% in competitions, so we will continue in that fashion.
As of 4/10/21, we have 9 people and will pay top 3 spots:
1st: $450
2nd: $300
3rd: $150
If less than 3 people qualify, pot will be chopped appropriately to winner(s).
If no one completes the objective by 12/31/2021, all bets will be returned so we can purchase lessons from John.

Good luck!
