You are not eligible to play in our President’s Cup event in your first year.
You need to post 5 scores in the GHIN system to establish a handicap in the GHIN system. Additionally to have a handicap to use for Men’s Club events, 3 of the posted scores must be Men’s Club events. More Information on Posting scores here: Posting Scores
Because new members don’t have a handicap, the first 4 events have a separate new member sweeps and the Callaway system is used for handicap. The Callaway scoring system is explained here: Callaway Scoring System
For events after the first 4, you play scratch if you do not yet have a GHIN handicap. The schedule and description for each type of event is here: Weekly Schedule
To be eligible for the Invitational in July you need to have 5 Men’s Club scores submitted for handicap in GHIN.
For scoring purposes on Sunday we use the handicap index you had on the preceding Wednesday.
What happens each week.
On Sunday there is a table in the clubhouse that has information about the day’s event.
On the table (or the bulletin board on the table):
A sheet showing pairings and starting times for the day.
A sign that shows local rules for the day. For example if we are improving lies everywhere, just in the fairway or not at all.
Sign up sheets for the next 4 to 5 events. You must sign up for an event by Tuesday prior to the event. Either sign a sheet or email Gary Neuschel (garyneuschel@gmail.com). Tee times are assigned by random draw. They are emailed Wednesday night and posted on our web site.
A sheet to sign up for the Skins game. (Participation is optional but you Must sign up before you start). The Skins game includes dogmeats - closest to the pin on the green on par 3’s. . Pay $5 to Bill Fairchild or Gary Neuschel when you turn in your scorecard at the end of the round. More details on the Weekly Schedule.
A sheet to sign up for the Birdie Pool (must have a handicap of 11 or greater). Put your $$ in the zippered pouch and sign the sheet for the Birdie Pool. (Participation is optional but you Must sign up before you start)
For partner events pre-labeled scorecards are provided for each group.
Jon Cohen is the owner of the course. He treats the Men’s Club very well. Please abide by his rules regarding food and beverages brought to the course. Signs are posted on the clubhouse.
We get the tee from 9:00 AM until our last group goes out on Sundays. This is a privilege that comes with a responsibility. Your group needs to be on the tee and as the saying goes "balls in the air" at your scheduled time. Additionally we strive to complete rounds in 4 1/2 hours or less. That means you need to be aware of your pace and adjust accordingly. The scorekeeper for each group is expected to write on the score card the time you started, the time you finished the first nine and the time you finished your round.
