The countdown is on…

We have reached a very special time…Night Golf Eve!

Attached you’ll find the groups and starting holes for our 9-hole, NGC Night Golf Course™ setup. We did our best to pair up players that requested to play together while maintaining the ABCDE handicap algorithm.

Appetizers + Steak & Spuds starts at 6:00 PM tomorrow and Night Golf will follow once it gets dark.

Format

We’ll be playing a 5-man scramble with a shotgun start and the NGC Night Golf Course™ 9-hole layout below:

• #1: par 5 – reds
• #2: par 4 – reds
• #3: par 3 – golds
• #5: par 4 – 225 yds (drive across pond)
• #9: par 4 – from fairway (about 300 yards)
• #10: par 4 – in rough on fairway side of pond (about 310 yards)
• #11: par 4 – reds 
• #12: par 4 – golds
• #18: par 3 – golds

For Men’s Night considerations, all participating MGA members will receive 25 Chase Points. Rumor has it that the winning team will be compensated for their victory in liquid form…

Let’s have a great time tomorrow everyone!

Men’s Night 9/15 — Chicago Back 9

For Men’s Night this week, we’ll be playing our Chicago format on the Back 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.

+2 & +1 start with -21
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
