March & April 2016 Golf Stableford Date: Saturday, March 26th Time: 10AM Shotgun, DuPont Course Format: Individual Stableford Points, Gross and Net (100% of handicap) Eligibility: All Gold and Silver Members Cost: $20 per player includes prizes. There will be discounted food and drink specials in Legends following play. The first organized event of the year! This event is a great way to shake the cobwebs off and reacquaint yourselves with other members that you haven’t seen in the off-season. In this format you get to play your own ball, but there is no penalty if you are unable (or choose not) to finish a hole. Hole-by-hole scores are then calculated by the computer into points as follows: Double Bogey or no score = 0 points, Bogey = 1 point, Par = 2 points, Birdie = 3 points, Eagle/Ace on Par 3 = 4 points, Double Eagle = 5 points. The players with the highest point totals win! You can sign up as a foursome or individually and our staff will pair you up. Season Kick-Off Event Date: Saturday, April 9th Time: 9AM Shotgun, DuPont Course Format: Teams of Four, 2 Best Balls of 4, Net Eligibility: All Gold Members Cost: $50 per player includes prizes; food and beverage social after the event. This event kicks off the “Official Golf Season.” In this team format you play your own ball and the best 2 scores of the 4 count as the team score. This format is always fun and gives everyone a chance to play their own ball, but with no “pressure” to finish every hole. Following play there will be a nice meal and the opportunity to socialize with fellow members. You can sign up as a foursome or individually and our staff will pair you up.
