This tournament is scored on both gross and net basis with overall payouts in each category.

Golfers earn points for their scores on each hole, and the aim of the game is accumulating enough points to beat your pre-set goal.

 

Pre-set goal = 36 - Course Handicap (example, a 10 handicap has a Quota of 26).

 

Point allocations (for gross scores):

 

• Bogey - 1point
• Par - 2 points
• Birdie - 3 points
• Eagle - 4 points
• Double Eagle - 5 points

 

The winner is the golfer who exceeds her quota by the most. If the golfer whose quota was 26 finishes at 30, he is +4. If the golfer whose quota was 12 finishes at 17, he is +5.

This is a stroke play event with each golfer playing their own ball.

Novarr - Team 4-Ball Match Play Single Elimination Tournament

 

The Wintonbury Men’s Golf Association sponsors a season-long Bracket 4-Ball Tournament. It is a net tournament using 90% of each player’s handicap. All players will stroke off the lowest handicap player in the foursome. It is a match play, best ball tournament. The lowest single net score of 1 player wins the hole. In all matches before the Final, the winner of a match that is tied after 18 holes will be determined based on which team won the most holes of the last nine, the last six, then the last three. If that fails to determine a winner, the last team to win a hole will be declared the winner. 

 

1. Teammates must have course handicaps (CH) within 9 strokes of each other.
   1. If one teammate has a CH of 15, and the other has a CH of 3, the first player’s CH will be adjusted to 12, and then they will both play to 90% of those numbers. This means the maximum differential between partners during the match is 8 strokes.
2. Course Handicaps for all matches will be based on the index not longer than 72 hours from scheduled match.

 

Entrance fee is $50.00 per team. WMGA will invoice one member of each team after registration closes.

 

Pairings:

• This year’s 4-Ball tournament will be made up of 1 flight with a maximum of 32 teams
• Each team MUST include at least one WMGA member
• Defending champion team will be given priority “seeding”
• A random drawing of pairings and all remaining “seeds” will be held on Saturday, May 3rd, at WHGC (after the Spinner Special round, approximately 1:00PM EDT).

 

Prize money will be based on overall number of participants

There are some important choices related to the Saturday, June 15, event. As is tradition, this is a weekend that WMGA allows members to bring GUESTS. Because many potential guests may not have handicaps, we offer two events:

 

The PRIMARY event is a two-person team BEST-BALL event. Each player on the team plays their own ball until holed. The best individual score (gross and net) made on the hole is posted as the team's score. Sign up as a team or you can be matched up by the WMGA.

 

The SECONDARY event is a two-person SCRAMBLE event. Each player on a team hits a shot, then the teammates pick the position they want to play from and repeat the procedure until the ball is holed. The team's GROSS score on each hole is posted as the team score.

 

If you want to play the PRIMARY event, you simply need to register.

 

If you want to play the SECONDARY event, you need to register AND indicate your preference for this event either in a "portal message" or an email to wmgateetimes@gmail.com.
