The chilly weather this morning did not stop two teams from scoring a remarkable net score of 64 in our Best Net of 2 tournament. The teams of Schuyler/McGrath and Collins/Lobb both won first in their flights. Lobb and McGrath both scored 28 putts and after a match of cards, Angie Lobb came out on top with 12 putts on the back nine. Please visit our website to see all of the results.
Thanks to Bent Creek management for hosting us today and to Deb Eady, Cynthia Hastings and Helen Short for coordinating all the details of this event. Hats off to Barb Jacobi who joined us as a marker.
Registration: As a reminder, registration closes at Noon on Saturday for a Wednesday event. After registration closes, the Golf Genius Managers get busy setting up the tournament in the Golf Genius software. Pairings, flights, scorecards and cart signs are sent to the Pro Shop on Monday. If you need to update your registration or want to be added to the roster before the pairings are sent to the Pro Shop on Monday, please contact the Golf Genius Manager responsible for that event.
Future JWGA Events:
March 22 – Windy Harbor – To allow time to process our players through a required security check, this tournament is closed for registration.
March 29 – Blue Sky – Lone Ranger – Registration for this event closes on March 25 so get on it and make your own foursome for this fun event. The Lone Ranger is a foursome event where one player is assigned to be the Lone Ranger on each hole. On the 1st hole, player in position 1 on the scorecard will act as the Lone Ranger. On the 2nd hole, player in position 2 on the scorecard will act as the Lone Ranger. On the 3rd, player in position 3. On the 4th, player in position 4. The cycle then repeats throughout the rest of the round. When playing this format, you will count the Lone Ranger’s ball as well as the best ball of the other 3 players. So, two balls will be counted on each hole.
Registration is open for our three week Championship which takes place on April 5 (Amelia National), 12 (Queen’s Harbour) and 19 (Eagle Landing). If you cannot commit to all three weeks, please sign up as a NIT at the courses you can play. If we have 9 or more NIT players, you will compete in a LG/LN tournament for points.
- The Championship alternates between stroke play and match play. This year’s event is 54 holes of stroke play.
- Participants will be placed in flights of eight according to index. If a tie for eighth place exists after this procedure, it will be decided by a blind draw.
- Medalist: Low gross first day. In the event of a tie, the Medalist will be decided based on the scores of the second day. If still tied, duplicate prizes will be awarded.
- In the event of a tie, the Championship winner will be determined by a hole-by-hole play-off.
- All other ties shall be decided by the USGA Match of Cards procedure.
- Prizes will be awarded as follows: Overall Winner (Champion), and First and Second Place in each flight.
- Once a player has played in any round of the tournament, she will be ineligible to compete for NIT points in any rounds that may be played throughout the duration of the tournament.
Thank you to all who played today despite the cold temperatures!
Make it a great day!
