Chapter
Championship Saturday, June 30th at
Blue Rock Springs - East, Vallejo
We have 28 members registered for this event! There will
be competition in 4 flights as well as 2 scramble
teams!
Did you know that the EWGA-NEB Chapter Championship is part of
the largest amateur women's golf event in the world? It's
great for golfers of all skill levels - the competition is
"flighted", so each player only plays against others with similar
handicaps.
There will be 2 winners in each flight - Low Gross
(lowest score before deducting course handicap) and Low
Net (lowest score after deducting your course handicap).
Remember to count all strokes and penalties and hole-out (you
can't stop counting/playing at your posting maximum).
Flights determined by handicap index for stroke play:
Championship: 0.0 - 13.0
1st Flight: 13.1 - 20.0
2nd Flight: 20.1 - 27.0
3rd Flight: 27.1 - 33.0
4th Flight: 33.1 and higher
The stroke play winners and 1st place Scramble Team will
advance to the Semi-Final Championship at
Hiddenbrooke on July 28th!
USGA Rules of Golf apply.
Rules clinic starts at 9:00am.
Additional information is on our chapter website on the Events
Calendar and News pages.
