Masters M​en’s Night — Par 3s & Par 5s
For this week’s golf format, we’ll be taking on a Masters-themed extravaganza on the Back 9, combining the spirit of the traditional Masters Par 3 Contest with a mix of Par 5s and a little Drive, Skip & Putt magic to boot. Stay tuned for the full format reveal tomorrow!
Our MGA Tees have been placed on the Back 9 for our full Par 3s & Par 5s setup. Net and Gross leaderboards will be in play with 75% of Back 9 handicaps for net scoring.
#10 – Ceremonial Tee Shot Challenge​ Par 3
- All players will begin on #10 with a ceremonial tee shot that has real implications. If your tee shot finishes in the fairway and is within ​(less than) your age + 100 yards of the flagstick on #10 green, you will earn the right to play #10 as a par 3 from​ the MGA tees at 110 yards. If you do not complete the challenge, you will play #10 as a par 3 from ​the MGA tees at 14​0 yards.​ Rule of 75 players may hit their ceremonial ​challenge tee shot​ from gold tees on #10 but will play the MGA tees for the remainder of the round.
#11 – Par 3
- #11 will be played as a par 3 from 155 yards​ — same yardage as some other famous par 3.​..
#12 – Skip Challenge​ Par 3
- At #12, each player will have 4 chances from the designated skip zone ​(large zone anywhere between the double MGA tees) to skip a ball onto the green​. If you successfully hit the green, you will play #12 ​as a par 3 from ​the MGA tees at 75 yards. If not, you will play #12 from ​the MGA tees ​1​25 yards.
#13 – Par 5
- #13 will be played as a par 5, just as nature — and Augusta — intended.
#14 – Par 3
- #14 will be played as a par 3 from the #15 gold tee.​ 38 yards
#15 – Par 3
- #15 will be played as a par 3 from the #15 gold tee.​ 71 yards
#16 – Par 5
- #16 will be played as a par 5 from the #15 gold tee​ (the same MGA tees #14 was played from as a par 3).​ An even 13ier #13?!
#17 – Par 3 + ​P​utt Challenge​ for 18 Tee Shot Determination​
- #17 will be played as a par 3 from 143 yards. After finishing the hole, each player will attempt a challenge putt to determine which tee they will play from on #18. Each player may place their ball anywhere exactly one flagstick length from the hole. Make the putt, and you’ll play #18 from the forward tee. Miss it, and you’ll play the longer tee shot on #18.
#18 – Final Tee ​o​f Destiny
- If you complete the challenge putt on #17, you will earn the right to play #18 as a par 3 from ​MGA tees on the ​f​orward tee​ — 117 yards. If not, you will play #18 from the ​MGA tees on blue tee​ box — 161 yards.
