Month: June 2012

We have 25 entrants in this year’s President’s Cup match play competition.  This year’s event will be a single elimination tournament (see the draw below) that will conclude during the first week of August (at the latest), giving us more time for other events.  The draw was randomly generated using www.challonge.com.  Each match will be governed by one set of rules (see below).   Players are required to have an updated RCGA handicap before matches begin.

2012 President’s Cup

 

It’s good sportsmanship not to pick up lost balls while they’re still rolling.

We are once again preparing for the annual match play competition.  Last year’s champ, Jonathan Murphy, is anxiously awaiting all challengers.  Members may sign up in the pro shop, at the starter’s shed, or by contacting Ian directly at icoffin@eastlink.ca.  Depending on numbers, we will offer either a single or double elimination tournament.

One change this year involves the rules which govern each match.  Due to inconsistencies in matches last season (and the resulting disputes), every match will be governed by one clear set of playing rules (similar to the rules which govern our annual club championship).  A detailed description of the rules will also be available on the blog, in the pro shop, and in the starter’s shed.  All matches will be governed by this set of rules.

The deadline to enter the President’s Cup is Wednesday, June 13.   The first round will commence on Monday, June 18.
