Men’s Night 9/19: Net & Gross, White & Blue — Back 9

For Men’s Night this week, as we count down to the Club Championship, we’ll be playing stroke play on the Back 9. Both Net & Gross leaderboards will be used to determine final result standings. Wherever a player places best (net or gross) is the final Men’s Night leaderboard position they’ll take for Chase Points distribution.

This week, players may play White or Blue tees (or Gold for Rule of 75 players whose Age + Handicap >= 75) at their own discretion as practice for the Club Championship. Net and gross scores will be tallied for all players regardless of tee selection. For players playing Blue or Gold tees, please note (Blue) or (Gold) next to your name on your scorecard (unmarked cards will be assumed to be white tees) and record gross scores for all holes.

MGA Sunday Snippets

Men’s Night 9/12 — Chicago Front 9

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 handicaps 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

MGA Tuesday: Dilemma, Match Play & Club Championship

Men’s Night 9/5 — 1-Man Scramble with White/Red Dilemma on the Back 9

For Men’s Night this week, we’ll be playing our 1-Man Scramble format with one additional twist. For all tee shots, players may either:

  • Play from White Tees, hitting 2 tee shots and selecting the best one 
  • Or play from Red Tees and only have one tee shot that must be used

This choice (2 tee shots / choose best off White or 1 must-use tee shot off Red) is in play on each hole and you may make a different decision on each hole. Choose wisely!

All 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. shots follow our traditional 1-Man Scramble format — 2 shots from the next position, choose the best, and so on until you have completed the hole. 50% of Back 9 course handicaps apply to calculate net scores — low net score wins.
