For Men’s Night this week, we’ll be playing our Chicago format on the Front 9.
All players play from white tees and Rule of 75 players (age + handicap >= 75) may play golds. Please record gross scores for all holes on scorecards with names clearly marked and turn in all completed cards to the Pro Shop.
Chicago Format:
Players start with a negative number of points (based on 18-hole course handicaps) then add positive points during their round. The idea is to get from the negative to the positive, clearing your “hurdle” by as many points as possible.
0 & 1 start with -20 2 & 3 start with -19 4 & 5 start with -18 6 & 7 start with -17 8 & 9 start with -16 10 & 11 start with -15 12 & 13 start with -14 14 & 15 start with -13 16 & 17 start with -12 18 & 19 start with -11 20 & 21 start with -10 22 & 23 start with -9 24 & 25 start with -8 26 & 27 start with -7 28 & 29 start with -6 30 & 31 start with -5 32 & 33 start with -4 34 & 35 start with -3 36+ start with -2 points
During the round, positive points are added on the following basis using gross hole scores:
Double Bogey or worse = 0 points
Bogey = 1 point
Par = 2 points
Birdie = 4 points
Eagle = 8 points
Albatross = 16 points

Men’s Night 8/11 — Choose Your Own Adventure RWB on the Back 9
For Men’s Night this week, to have some fun on the Back 9, we’ll be playing our Red, White & Blue Tees format but with a twist. Each player may select their own combination of red, white and blue tees to play as they proceed through their round. Over the course of the Back 9 holes, participants must play 3 holes from reds, 3 holes from whites, and 3 holes from blues. Aside from the 3 of each color stipulation, you may choose any combination of RWB tees you’d like and you do not need to play the same tee choices as your fellow group members.
Rule of 75 gold tee players (Age + Handicap >= 75) may select 3 red, 3 gold, and 3 white tee holes to play on the Back 9.
Net scoring applies with 100% of Back 9 white tee handicaps — low net score wins.
Please record gross scores for all holes on scorecards with names clearly marked and turn in all completed cards to the Pro Shop.

Match Play — Next Round Deadline 8/28
Thank you to all our Match Play participants who completed their Main Bracket and Wildcard matches for Round 2 and Round 1 respectively.
The deadline for Main Bracket Round 3 and Wildcard Bracket Round 2 matches is set for Sunday, August 28th. Please contact [email protected] (email subject: “Match Play”) or call the Pro Shop 301-292-1100 if you need your opponent’s contact information.

Food & Beer 🍻
Food and beer will be provided at the conclusion of play tomorrow.
Scoring
All tournament scoring will be handled via the NGC App. The app can be found here for iPhone and here for Android. All groups will be pre-loaded into the App and we ask that each group uses the App to track their group’s scores.
For Men’s Night this week, the 3rd edition of the 2022 Shootout series is here! For our Shootout format on the Back 9, all players meet on the 10th tee at 4:45 PM — please be a few minutes early so we can organize everyone’s Back 9 course handicaps. As a full group (think 25-some), all competitors play #10 together (please mark your ball 😂). The low 9 net scores on #10 progress to the 11th tee. A chip-off will be used to break any ties for who proceeds to #11 (top 9 low net from #10).
On holes 11-18, we eliminate 1 player with the highest net score on each hole: i.e. 9 competitors play #11, 8 competitors play #12…all the the way down to 2 players on the 18th hole. Chip-offs decide tied-for-high-score holes.
The last man standing after #18 has been played is the Shootout winner.
For this week’s Shootout festivities, once again, our special guest Shootout referee is back—current Springfield Golf & Country Club member, 2019 Stearns Cup Champion, former MGA Competition Chair, fantastic match play opponent, and all-around great guy—Mr. Mike Lyons. Mike will handle all handicap calculations, rulings, and chip-off decisions for elimination.

Two Sundays ago, the NGC A-Team matched up vs. Piedmont Club and collected 7 points in a 7-11 loss and, over the weekend, the team completed its final two matches of the WMGA summer competition. On Saturday, the team took on Trump National DC and battled to a 7.5-10.5 final tally. On Sunday, Washington Golf & CC was our final opponent of the year and, in some hard fought matches, NGC came away with 5 points. NGC’s 19.5 points collected total over the 3 matches this season was a big step up from the total of 7 points from 2021.
Thank you to all the NGC staff who helped to make the matches we hosted at home a success!
