With a truly epic Masters in the history books, it’s time to turn our thoughts to playing some golf!
Men’s Night 4/17 — 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.

Using their allotted mulligans, each player records their best possible gross score. Net scores will also be calculated by the scoring app for a Net Division. The Rule of 75 (Age + Handicap >= 75) applies for gold tee players. Please sign up using the online registration link.

All players will be responsible for scheduling their own match dates and times in coordination with their opponents once the brackets have been drawn.
