I am surveying the Tomcats to determine if there is any interest in a Ryder Cup Format Fall Golf Tournament.
Format
Foursomes – 9 Holes
Teammates alternate tee shots. Player ‘A’ tees off on odd-numbered holes, and Player ‘B’ tees off on even-numbered holes. After the tee shot, teammates alternate shots until completion of the hole.
Fourball – 9 Holes
All four players play their own ball. The team whose player has the lowest score wins the hole. If the teams tie, they halve the hole. The team that wins the match receives one point, and if the teams tie they each get 1/2 point.
Singles – Holes
Players compete in match play head-to-head. The best score per hole wins that hole and tied holes are halved. The player who wins the match earns one point for his team. Ties are worth 1/2 point to each team.
The format can be adjusted depending upon how many golfers are interested. Teams will be selected by two team captains. This will make sure the teams are even and competitive. Captains will be responsible for pairings.
Date: I am thinking of Saturday October 10, 2015 – Weather permitting. It is the long weekend but if your kid’s hockey is not in full swing and you have no family plans until the Sunday, we can maybe get that one last round in.
Location – To be determined. I am thinking Deer Run in Blenheim – It’s a 27 hole course and inexpensive. Although many Tomcats have no problem driving an equivalent time and distance stateside to golf, Deer Run may be considered too far. If so, I can look at booking the Tomcat Home Course, Belleview for 27 holes.
Cost: To be determined – Golf is inexpensive in the fall so …
Party After: To be determined.
I am asking that all Tomcats respond to me (RSVP) and we can further discuss this at opening night of hockey.
