Men’s Night 6/19 — Stableford Back 9 with Stableford Points = Points Chase Points
For Men’s Night this week, we’ll be playing our Stableford format on the Back 9. Points will be awarded based on the standard Stableford scoring breakdown using 100% of individual Back 9 handicaps.
With the federal Juneteenth holiday falling on Thursday, we hope to have a great turnout and, as a holiday special, all players will receive their Stableford score as Points Chase points (unless they place higher with 30 Chase Points still awarded for 1st and so on for the top one-third of finishers).
- Net Double Bogey or higher: 0 points
- Net Bogey: 1 point
- Net Par: 2 points
- Net Birdie: 3 points
- Net Eagle: 4 points, and so on.
To facilitate any A-Team qualifying rounds, for this week, players may play Blue Tees if they choose and their Blue Tee Back 9 course handicaps will apply. Please mark Blue Tees on Men’s Night scorecards for any Blue Tees players. All other players play from White Tees and Rule of 75 players (age + handicap >= 75) may play Golds.
Let’s enjoy the extra daylight and a meaningful week as we celebrate the Juneteenth holiday —
Competition Rules for Men’s Night 6/19
- For this week, all Men’s Night competitors play the Back 9 using 100% of their Back 9 course handicaps.
- Men’s Night rounds may be played at any time on Thursday with an accompanying MGA member. Please record gross scores for all holes on scorecards with names clearly marked and turn in completed cards to the Pro Shop.
- With the possibility of storms in the forecast, an overall assessment of course playability / availability throughout the day will be used to determine if there has been enough time for Men’s Night play to count submitted scores for an official result.
- We will be playing LIFT, CLEAN, and PLACE in your OWN FAIRWAY, one club-length, no closer to the hole. Additionally, if your ball ends up in a bunker, you may lift, clean, rake and place within the bunker, one club-length, no closer to the hole.
- Balls marked on the green may be replaced to the side of any “Dollar Spot”, dead patches, “Crabgrass” weed patches, and/or fungus/disease, no closer to the hole. Additionally, “Dollar Spot” areas, dead/diseased patches, or “Crabgrass” weed patches on the green may be considered Ground Under Repair from which putting-line relief may be taken (as far as necessary), no closer to the hole.
- Bare areas larger than one club-length in your own fairway (or connected to your own fairway), bare areas immediately adjacent to cart paths, and tire tracks should be considered Ground Under Repair. DROP within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole. Additionally, netting in re-sodded areas, drain trenches, and exposed rocks added as topper for drainage systems should be considered Ground Under Repair from which free relief may be taken, no closer to the hole.
- Tall grass and unmaintained sections of the course may be played as penalty areas. These areas include: the hill between the cart paths for the 4th and 5th holes, right of the 7th hole fairway, the hill between the 7th and 8th holes, surrounding the back and left of the 11th green, right of the 13th fairway and surrounding the 13th green, right of the cart path on the 14th hole, on the hill between the 14th and 16th holes, right of the 15th hole and surrounding the 15th green. In the case you do not find your ball in these areas, follow the standard red penalty area dropping procedure.
- Any player who does not meet the MGA 2-in-30 handicap posting policy or has not submitted a written appeal for exemption prior to play to [email protected] if they are unable to meet the requirement, will automatically play as a 0 handicap for Men’s Night.
- This week’s format allows for the completion of a 9-hole round that is valid for handicap posting purposes.Men’s Night scores must be posted promptly to your handicap account. Any player who places but has not posted will have their score disqualified from placement consideration.
