Men’s Night Schedule Update — Tee Ladder Back 9 Extension + 1-or-2-Man Scramble Front 9
With the course closed for the past two days, last week’s extended Men’s Night window will now remain open through Friday 10/16. This week’s Men’s Night — our 1-or-2-Man Scramble on the Front 9, with everyone playing from the red tees — may be played Thursday 10/15 or Friday 10/16.
Extended Men’s Night 10/7 through 10/16— Tee Ladder on the Back 9
Submissions for our Tee Ladder format on the Back 9 continue through Friday 10/16. The complete competition rules can be found here. Here’s how it works:
All players start on the Red Tees for Hole #10. If you make a gross par or better on a hole, you move up the tee ladder for the next hole:
- The “tee ladder” progresses from Red Tees → Gold Tees → White Tees → Blue Tees
If you make a gross bogey or worse, you reset and return to the Red Tees for the next hole.
Progression Example:
- Make gross bogey on Hole #10 → Remain on Red Tees for Hole #11
- Make gross par on Hole #11 → Move to Gold Tees on Hole #12
- Make gross par again on Hole #12 → Move to White Tees on Hole #13
- Make gross bogey on Hole #13 → Return to Red Tees for Hole #14
- Make gross birdie on Hole #14 → Move to Gold Tees on Hole #15
- and so on…
Rule of 75 Players (age + handicap index ≥ 75): The highest tee you can reach is the White Tees. Even if you continue making par or better, you will not move back to the Blue Tees.
Scoring:
- Net scores will be calculated using players’ Back 9 Gold Tee handicaps.
- We will have both Gross and Net leaderboards using Stableford scoring:
- Gross/Net Double Bogey or higher: 0 points
- Gross/Net Bogey: 1 point
- Gross/Net Par: 2 points
- Gross/Net Birdie: 3 points
- Gross/Net Eagle: 4 points, and so on.
Men’s Night 10/15 + 10/16 — 1-or-2-Man Scramble All Red Tees on the Front 9
To have some fun this week, we’ll be playing our 1-or-2-Man Scramble format from the red tees on the Front 9. Competitors may either play solo using the standard 1-Man Scramble format (hitting two shots themselves from each position throughout each hole) or pair up for a traditional 2-Man Scramble (each teammate hits one shot from each position).
1-Man Format: You hit two shots off the tee and choose the best one. From there, you again hit two shots, choose the best, and repeat until the hole is completed.
2-Man Format: Players team up and each teammate hits one shot from every position. Choose the best shot and both players hit from there, continuing until the hole is finished. For 2-Man teams, please mark your scorecard with both players’ names on a single line (e.g. “B. Jones / B. Hogan”) and record your gross scramble score.
Please turn in all completed cards to the Pro Shop with gross scramble scores and names clearly marked. Net scores will be calculated using 50% of each player’s Red Tee Front 9 course handicap, with 50% of the average handicap used for 2-man teams. Low net score wins!
