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.

Men’s Night 8/15 — Shootout Front 9 @ 4:45 PM

For Men’s Night this week, the 3rd edition of our 2024 Shootout series is here! For our Shootout format on the Front 9, all players meet on the 1st tee at 4:45 PM — please be a few minutes early (around the range / putting green by 4:30 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.

For this week’s Shootout festivities, 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.
