Entry fee $30.00 per player
Format:
If you haven’t played in the President’s Cup previously, it’s a really fun
tournament and a great way to get to know other members. The format is
match-play. If you would like, you can play your match during a Chief’s
Tournament (just make sure you putt all balls into the hole for the Chief’s
Tournament purposes).
The day you play your match, check your handicap to see what your course
handicap is. You can do this easily by using the USGA GHIN App. After
downloading the app, go to “handicap calculator”, type in the course you are
playing, the tees you are playing. You can add your opponent by selecting “add
golfers” and then search by name or GHIN number for your opponent. Make sure
each of you have the same tee selected. Once you have your course handicap,
you subtract the lower handicap of the two golfers from the higher to get how
many strokes you will receive. Mark your score card with the appropriate number
of strokes the higher handicap golfer will receive.
Ex: Bryan Spiffen plays at a 12 course handicap while playing from the blue tees.
Marty Clarkson plays at an 18 course handicap from the blue tees. Marty will
receive 6 strokes on the 6 lowest ranked handicap holes. If you are confused,
don’t worry, most of the golfers who signed up have previously played in the
President’s Cup and can help you along. Don’t hesitate to shoot me an email if
you have any questions. Please help those golfers along that are new to match
play.
Brackett Selection:
I will put all entrants’ names in a hat and picked names, one at a time, until all
were picked and paired up. I will attached the bracket with all the match pairings
and dates the matches need to be completed by. As always, if circumstances
come up and a match is delayed, a reasonable amount of time, that’s fine, but try
and finish matches by the deadlines set for each round.
You will play your matches at Mission Trails.
You must play the same set of tees. If someone who normally plays the blue tees,
is playing someone who normally plays the white tees, and an agreement can’t be
made, players will play from the white tees.
The Championship and Consolation Matches must be played at Mission Trails.
Because of the odd number of entrants, there are seven “play in” matches, so to
speak, to start the event off. Names will be picked out of a hat and randomly
selected. If one of the following members who had to win their play in match
wins the President’s Cup, they will receive an extra $20 and one sleeve of Pro-V1
golf balls with “2025 Mission Trails Men’s Club” on them.
Good Luck!
