More dates for 2008 will be scheduled later this year. All times are subject to some adjustment due to field size – we will keep you well informed as the event approaches. Prizes - $10 of each entry fee goes into the pot Enter at least one week in advance. (Late entry on space available basis)

Players will compete as individuals within flights. 

There will be two flights so that everyone will play with players of similar capability.  The “A” flight will include players with quotas of 26 or more (10.4 handicaps and less initially) who will play from approximately 6,500 yards.  The “B” flight will include players with quotas ranging from 26 and below (handicaps initially between 10.5 and 24.0) and they will play at approximately 6,000 yards.

    *Entry fee includes everything - cart, golf, range and prizes.
 

Point Quotas

• Initial Quota - A player’s initial point quota will be determined by subtracting the player’s handicap index from 36 and rounding to the nearest whole number.  Example: An 8-handicap player would have a first event quota of 28 points (36-8).  If that player earned 32 points, he would be +4 on the day. Quotas for first time players with no handicap index will be calculated by committee formula.
• Adjustments to Quotas - Quota points are adjusted each time you play based on your previous round in the Point’s Game

  • POINTS SCORE 1 bogie 2 par 4 birdie 6 eagle 8 double eagle

    If you fail to reach your quota points – your quota for the next event will be reduced by 50% of the amount of points that you were short in reaching your quota.  A maximum reduction of 2 points will be allowed per event.
  • If you exceed your quota – your quota for the next event will be increased by 50% of the excess points you achieved in the current event.  There is no limit to the adjustments that increase a player’s quota.

Format

• Individual within flights
• Scoring based upon points achieved compared to a player’s point quota

Weather-Shortened Events

When weather causes a round to be shortened, the FSGA will do what is fair to determine who wins prizes and how quota allocations may be adjusted for the next event. Entry fees will generally not be refunded, but if only a few holes are played, we will work with the club to get the players a rain check or another option.
