There are several different types of competitions available to members. Information on the various competitions is included in this Fixture Booklet and will also be posted on the Men’s Locker Room Bulletin Board and Pro Shop Awards Board in advance of each competition.

Weekly Competition consists of individual stroke play with prizes for low net, and high par points by handicap division and KP on holes 3, 7, 11, 16, and 18.

.
Competitive Trophy Events are played over 1 – 4 weeks on Wednesdays. There are both stroke and match events in singles, doubles and team formats. See detailed descriptions on the event pages elsewhere in this book. Entry for some events requires advance sign up in addition to the regular “highlighting” sign up for weekly play. Competitive (trophy) events are open only to Full-Play members with official up-to-date handicaps.

In this year (2011) an exception to the rules of compelting some match play competitions on the Wednesday of play has been implemented. This was done to assist members who cannot compete due to time restrictions. Please refer to the individual competition rules for clarificatiion.

Special One-Day Events: There are THREE such events held on days other than Wednesday at UGC, University Cup, Putt-a-Rama and Aligas. These events require advance sign-up and have a limited number of spaces. The events are open to Full-Play members with an official up-to-date handicap.

"No-shows" may be subject to financial penalty.

Open play is always available for members who are not participating in a scheduled competition. A few days are designated as Open Play that might be used as make-up days in the event of rain-outs or for an additional event. Because Open Play days provide more flexibility in scheduling, we are better able to respond to requests for specific foursomes or partners.

Vacation: The vacation sign-up sheet is posted on the Men’s Locker Room Bulletin Board for those members who plan to be away for an extended period, i.e., 3 or more weeks, and therefore are unable to sign-up in the normal manner.

UGC Score Cards are to be used to report scores from all of the Stroke Play competitive events. Please use “Markers” by exchanging cards within the foursome. (A “marker” is a fellow playing partner who keeps your score, as well as his own).

Par Points Cards submitted following each Wednesday’s play enables Full-Play and Limited-Play Member eligible for the weekly low net and par points prizes, or to have new eclectic scores entered. The Par Points Card must show your PRINTED name, date of event, nine-hole scores, gross score, handicap, net score, par points with total, and Eclectic Scores circled with “Eclectic” printed on the top of the card. The card must be legibly signed and attested. Instructions for calculating par points are posted on the bulletin board in the locker room.

Please note: Incorrect or illegible cards will be discarded and players disqualified at the discretion of the Match Committee.
Par Point Cards must be submitted to record the number of games played each year. Full-play members are required to play at least 10 Wednesday games per year and Limited-play members, 3 Wednesday games.

Allocation of Weekly Prizes: In the interest of spreading the prizes around, players are not permitted to receive a low net and a par points prize each week. If a player is nominally eligible for two such prizes he will be awarded the prize of higher value. Players may receive more than one KP prize each week, independent of the low net or par points prizes.

Ties: In stroke play, including weekly low net and par points competitions, ties will be broken by the Retrogression Method, i.e., cards will be matched beginning with the net scores from the last 9 holes (holes 10 - 18) and proceeding through last 6 holes, last 3 holes and hole #18 using percentage the of total handicap. In the event that a tie remains after the back nine, the procedure will apply to the front nine. (RCGA Rule 33-6, Appendix 1, 11(c)).

Putting Out: Club Championship players must putt out, no gimmies. Other competitions, fellow players can concede to a player a 15” or less gimmie putt. 15” is about the length of standard putter grip.

Event Cancellation: If weather or course conditions require cancellation of a competition, the missed round will be rescheduled at the discretion of the Captain.

Handicap

Please Note: If you already have an ID# or username and password from a course other than UGC, please provide this to the Captain, so the records may be accessed and transferred.

RCGA web site: CLICK HERE

When playing in a Match or a Stroke Play Net Score event, or submitting a Par Points Card, players shall use their current "Course Handicap" each week unless the Match committee decrees otherwise. To determine your current Handicap, refer to the "Course Handicap Conversion Chart/Men/White Tees" at the Pro Shop computer table. For all weekly and trophy competitions, the "Course Handicap" shall apply.

NOTE: Maximum adjusted score for players with a 0-18 handicap is 2 over par per hole. For those with a handicap of 19 or more the maximum adjusted score is 3 over par per hole.

Equitable Stroke Control, “ESC Adjusted Gross Score” and Handicap.

There are two scores to consider when you play a round of golf:
1. Your Stroke Play total gross score submitted on UGC score cards for competitions and Par Points Card gross score for each 9 and total 18 holes less your current handicap.
2. Your “ESC adjusted gross score” entered into the RCGA computer for handicap purposes only. This score involves adjusting downward the unusually high gross score on a hole.
The maximum allowed adjustment varies with handicap:
0 – 18: par + 2
19 – 33: par + 3
33 and over: par + 4
Add the adjusted gross score for entry into the RCGA handicap website.

• Tournament Scores: During the year, selected Stroke Play events are chosen as “Tournaments” for handicap purposes.
  The gross score or ESC adjusted gross score from these events are to be identified as Tournament Scores when entering the results into the RCGA web site. The following are the designated Tournaments:
  
  

  Harris
  Kelbert
  Club Championship
  Turkey Shoot
  Oliver
  Milne
  Forrest

  Enter your adjusted score into the RCGA web site and identify it as a Tournament Score.

Handicap Audit: All Tournament and selected Wednesday scores will be audited by the Handicap Committee during the playing season.

Please note: In extreme cases, the Handicap Committee may be required to institute an administrative score entry and/or adjust your Handicap Factor.

Pace of Play:
UGC and the Men’s Mid-Week Club have an objective to complete 18-holes in 4 hours and 15 minutes or less to enhance the enjoyment of the game. Members are requested to conduct themselves accordingly.

Suggestions:
1. KEEP UP with the group in front of you.
2. If your group is falling behind, have the first two players who putt-out go to the next tee and tee-off.
3. Play READY GOLF.
4. Let SHORT HITTERS TEE OFF FIRST.
5. PUTT CONTINUOUSLY when convenient, don’t mark short putts.
6. After putting out, go to the next tee to mark your scores.
7. PLAY SHOTS QUICKLY.
8. Leave carts and clubs on the side closest the next tee.
9. When looking for a lost ball time limit is 5 minutes.

Individuals play for cash prizes from an enhanced weekly prize pool. The regular weekly low net and par points competitions are suspended for this week.

Scoring: The 3 lowest net scores PER HOLE is the team score for that hole. Lowest team net score over 18 holes is the winner. Prize distribution per team:
1st 40%, 2nd 25%, 3rd & 4th 15%, 5th 5%.
The first place team will be awarded the FALL CLASSIC TROPHY. Individual low net winners (1st through 5th) will be identified in each handicap division.

Score Card: The Match Committee will provide a UGC Score Card with the first person in the foursome to record each player's gross score. The UGC Score Card must be signed by all players and submitted to the Fall Classic Committee. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO RECORD THE 3 LOW NETS AS THIS WILL BE CALCULATED AUTOMATICALLY BY COMPUTER.

Ties: In case of a tie, prizes will be pooled (e.g.) 2 teams tied for 1st place will share 65% of the pool. Tied 1st place teams will play an 18-hole play-off for the TROPHY. The Captain will arrange this match.
