FORT MILL GOLF CLUB - 2016

Men’s Member-Guest Golf Tournament

JULY 21, 22, 23

The Fort Mill Golf Club and the Fort Mill Men’s Golf Association cordially invite you and your guest to participate in the 2016Member-Guest Golf Tournament

Entry Fee:$300 PER TEAM/$25.00 off for each player over age 65 paid before July 1st $340 PER TEAM UP TO ENTRY CLOSE JULY11

Payment must be received with entry form. Entry fee includes the following:

  • Cookout and skills contests for players and guests on Thursday evening
  • Greens fee, carts, food and drinks for Friday and Saturday tournament rounds
  • Saturday night social in the Oak Room for players, guest and spouses
  • Format:The format will be two-man best ball match play. Each match will be played off the lowest handicapper’s ball in each foursome. The other players in each match will then be allocated strokes as appropriate. Tournament will be pre-flighted based on team handicap. Each flight will have six teams and handicaps will be used to make play equitable within each flight. It would be preferred if the guest would have a verifiable handicap either through the USGA computer system, league handicap or recent scorecards from play. If none of those criteria can be met an estimated handicap can be submitted. However, the Member Guest Handicap Committee will be the final arbiter of the tournament handicap. The Member Guest Tournament Committee also has the authority to make adjustments/revisions to course handicaps at any time during the tournament as they see fit.

Age 65 and over may play from the senior tees with a 3 stroke handicap reduction from your 18 hole handicap. This amounts to 1-1/2 off your 9 hole handicap. By the time we take half of that, it really isn’t as bad as first sounds. EX – a 13 will be reduced by 3 to an 10, divided by 2 for 9 holes to 5.. All players get ½ handicap so you would use 2.5 as your handicap for your 9 hole match. If there was no reduction, you would get 13 divided by 2 for 9 holes to 6.5. Then ½ handicap would be 3.25. So in reality, you only lose ¾ of a stroke for the 9 hole match.

Prizes: Gift certificates for clubhouse merchandise and plaques will be awarded to flight winners. Prizes also awarded for close-ups on par 3’s (Fri & Sat). Cash payouts for Long Drive, Putting, and Close-up events on Thursday evening.

The first 48 teams that sign up are in the field, Once we get past 48 teams you will be put on a waiting list until another 6 team flight is filled. Maximum number of teams is 54. Deadline is July 11th or until the field is filled.
