Men’s Night ​10/2 — Shootout Front 9 @ ​3:45 PM

For Men’s Night this week, the ​final edition of our 2025 Shootout series is here! For our Shootout format on the Front 9, all players meet on the 1st tee at ​3:45 PM — please be a few minutes early (around the range / putting green by ​3:30 PM) so we can organize everyone’s Front 9 course handicaps. 

As a full group (think 25-some), all competitors play #1 together (please mark your ball). The low 9 net scores on #1 proceed to the 2nd hole. A chip-off will be used to break any ties for who proceeds to #2 (top 9 low net from #1).

On holes 2-9, we eliminate 1 player with the highest net score on each hole: i.e. 9 competitors play #2, 8 competitors play #3…all the the way down to 2 players on the 9th hole. Chip-offs decide tied-for-high-score holes.

The last man standing after #9 has been played is the Shootout winner.

Additional Front 9 Stableford Competition 

As an addition for tomorrow, we’ll also have a Men’s Night Stableford competition and leaderboard for any players who cannot make it for the 3:45 start or who get eliminated from the Shootout.
