Open Eligibility Events

 

White/Blue Tee 18 Holes (Gross) – Individual stroke play event with no handicap allowance. Your score is the best (lowest) individual gross score on each hole. Individuals can play either blue or white tees and submit scores for each respective tee. You must specify which tees you are playing before the round.

 

White/Blue Tee 18 Holes (Net) (Full Handicap) – Individual stroke play event and 100% full handicap. Your score is the best (lowest) individual net score on each hole. Individuals can play either blue or white tees and submit scores for each respective tee. You must specify which tees you are playing before the round. 

 

White/Blue Tee Stableford (Net) (Full Handicap) – Individual stroke play event and 100% full handicap. Your score is based on the following format: (Bogey=1 pt), (Par=2pts), (Birdie=3pts), (Eagle=4pts), (Double Eagle=5 pts). 

​

As example, if you score a 5 on a Par 4 hole and for handicap purposes you get a 1 stroke on that hole, then your gross bogey (5) is a net par (4) and you would record 2 points for that Stableford hole. Your total score is the cumulative points for all 18 holes.

 

Please note, that even though Stableford is a form of stoke play, you get 0 points for a Double Bogey or worse. In this case and this case only, you may stop playing a hole after double bogey for pace of play, but still need to record that score in GHIN for handicap purposes.

Individuals can play either blue or white tees and submit scores for each respective tee. You must specify which tees you are playing before the round.

Specialty Tournament

 

ABCD Scramble (Closing Event) – This is the last event of the year. There will be four-man teams assigned via blind draw in the ABCD format. The scramble format requires each player to hit a drive. The team then picks the best drive, and all players then play from that spot, continuing to play the team's best shot in this format to finish each hole. Teams can follow the standard scramble rules:

​

• Putts need to be placed within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score. 

• You may lift, clean and place your ball within one club length on the selected shot; however, you may not move your ball out of a hazard (including bunkers), out of the rough, from the fairway or rough to the apron or from the apron to the green

White/Blue Lone Ranger/Devil Ball. (Net) - This is a two-person team event. You need to get a marked, yellow ball from the pro-shop before you start the round. The Lone Ranger tournament format is a fun game.  On every hole one player in the twosome is assigned to be the Lone Ranger.  On the first hole, the player, Player A in position 1 in the pairings will act as the Lone Ranger.  On the 2nd hole, the 2nd partner, Player B is the Lone Ranger and then it goes back and forth on each hole. 

 

When playing this format, you will count the Lone Ranger's ball as the score for the team on a net 100%, full handicap basis. You must immediately return the ball back to the pro-shop after the round. If a team member loses the yellow ball, then the group is out of the tournament. However, you must finish the round and submit your score for handicap purposes. It is your requirement as all scores need to be posted if you play these tournaments.

 

White/Blue 3 Club Tournament (Net) – This is an individual stroke play event and 100% full handicap. Individuals must play with only three declared clubs at the beginning of the round. Please ensure anyone attesting the round knows which three clubs you are using and inform someone before the round for verification. 

 

Unfortunately, if one of the three clubs break during the round, according to the rules of golf you must play with your remaining two clubs only.  Your score is the best (lowest) individual net score on each hole. Individuals can play either blue or white tees and submit scores for each respective tee. You must specify which tees you are playing before the round.

White/Blue Two Man Trifecta (Net) – This is a two-man 6-hole scramble, a 6-hole alternative shot & 6-hole best ball event.  For hole 1-6, it is a scramble, so each player, Player A and Player B hit a drive and then continue to play the best shot in that format to finish the hole. The team score on these holes is the best gross score on the hole.

 

For hole 7-12, it is an alternate shot format, so Players A and B continue to partner with each other in this format. You should decide among yourselves who tees off first on the first hole. If Player A hits the opening tee ball, then Player B hits the second shot. The third stroke is played by Player A, then Player B hits the fourth. You must alternate hitting shots until the ball is in the hole.  The team score on these holes is the best gross score on the hole.

 

For hole 13-18, it is best ball format, so each player plays his own ball throughout these final holes. The score for these holes is the best (lowest) individual net score on each hole.

Major Events

 

Battle for Tully Cup – This is a new tournament for us this year. Welcome to our Ryder Cup-like event for Oak Hills Men’s Club!! We will have two Captain’s driven by our Two Club Pros. The field will be chosen by handicap, and we expect 18 individuals per side or 36 individuals in total. The team captains will decide who plays and set up the specific player scheduling.

 

The format for the round is Hole 1-6 is a Team Scramble, Hole 7-12 is Team Best Ball Match Play and Hole 13-18 is Singles Match Play. The first 1-6 holes will consist of three teams of four (six members of Team A and six members of Team B), The next six holes 7-12 will be three teams of four for Match Play (another six members of Team A and another six members of Team B). Finally, the final Holes 13-18 will include all 18 members on Team A and Team B to play these holes. The first team that gets to 12 ½ points will win the Tully Cup.  This event will be a net handicapped basis.

 

Club Championship – This event is our most important tournament of the season. It is played as a match play event. Sign up is required for the Club Championship and is segmented into 5 flights by INDEX handicap: Championship, A, B, C and D. The Championship Flight is generally for handicaps 0-9. Tee times will be made for the matches on assigned dates for the matches.  Please do not sign up if you can’t make the dates for matches. All these matches are played on a gross basis, inside each flight, played from the blue tees.

 

Governor’s Cup - This is a major event and is year-long, played as our premier team match play event of the year. The match is a 2-man best ball match with handicap allowance.  Handicap is determined by playing off the low player in the match handicap and then take 80 % of the difference between the players.

 
As an example: Team 1, Player A has a handicap of 10 and Player B has a handicap of 20. Team 2, Player A has a handicap of 18 and Player B has a handicap of 19. For the match, Team 1, Player A plays as a 0, Player B (his partner) is a 10-stroke difference x 0.8= 8 so he gets 8 strokes. Team 2, Player A is 8 stroke different x 0.8 = 6, so he gets 6 strokes and player B is 9 stroke different x 0.8 = 7, so he gets 7 strokes.

 
The matches are scheduled by the players and must be played by the dates on the brackets.   All matches played from the blue tees.

 

Member/Member – New for us this year, we are proposing a one-day event: two-man 9-hole scramble and then a 9-hole alternative shot. For holes 1-9, it is a scramble, so each player hits a drive and then continues to play the best shot in that format to finish the hole. Typically Scramble rules apply to the Member/Member for putts & one club length. For holes 10-18, it is alternate shot, so Players A and B partner with one another on an alternate shot team. You should decide among yourselves who tees off first on the first hole. If Player A hits the opening tee ball, then Player B hits the second shot. The third stroke is played by Player A, then Player B hits the fourth. You must alternate hitting shots until the ball is in the hole.

Please note you must also alternate hitting tee shots, so since if Player A hit the drive on the first hole, on the second hole Player B tees off, and so on throughout the round.

Scoring by the Team Captain is on a net and gross basis so record the best score gross and best score net for the team. Prizes are awarded on net and gross basis. The entry fee is to be determined and handicaps for net purposes will be 85% per new USGA rules.

Recognition goes to the players who have the lowest net score.

 

Shoreline Tournament - The Shoreline is an annual event played among local clubs to Oak Hills Park.
