Men’s Night 10/6 + Upcoming MGA Schedule

Men’s Night 10/6 — 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

Upcoming MGA Schedule

  • 10/6 — Chicago: Back 9
  • 10/13 — 1-Man Scramble: Front 9
  • 10/15 + 10/16 — Stearns Cup: Final MGA major of the 2022 season, 2-man teams playing best ball. Sign up with your teammate.
  • 10/20 — 1-Club Challenge: Back 9 — Players choose only 1 club to use for all shots (including putting) for the entire round.
  • 10/27 — E-9: All players meet on 1st tee at 4:00 PM for a traditional NGC E-9. Scramble teams will be determined by handicap index.
  • 10/29 — MGA Closing Day Stableford: Final MGA event of the season, 18-hole Stableford format with gross and net divisions.
