Frequently Asked Questions?
1. Can I play with more than one partner? Yes, you can enter with as many different partners as you would like. Each entry fee costs $25 per person ($50 per team). If you enter with ten different partners and each team qualifies - then you are guaranteed a spot in BC!
2. Do I have to always play with my partner that I am registered with? NO. You can play with anyone and hand in your scorecard after the round. You do not need to play with the person you are registered with. This enables teams to hand in more scores and have a better chance of qualifying. However, you will have to play with your partner if you make the playoff. A great way to submit scores for those in men's league - is submit your score each week - that gives you 16 scores that you can use towards qualifying!
3. Can we change a score on a given hole or do we need to use a complete nine hole score? A complete nine hole score must be used - you cannot change just one score on a given hole. Once each player has submitted a complete nine hole score, then the Pro Shop will use the best score to calculate Stableford points.
4. Once I pay my $25 entry fee, are there additional fees? No - unless you are a non-member, then you will have to pay any green fees that may apply. For those teams who qualify for the playoff, non members will have to pay the green fee for that day as well. Once your entry is paid, you can turn in as many scores as you would like.
5. Do high handicap players really have a chance of winning? Yes, players of all levels have an equal chance of winning since this is a net-score event. 75% of each player's handicap will be used to determine the net-Stableford points per hole. See detailed rules below for additional information. In addition, since this is a best ball (meaning best score per player) you do not have to shoot a low score overall on the nine holes - just score well on the holes that your partner doesn't. For example, one team last year had players with scores of 35 and 36 for nine holes, but accumulated more points when the player who shot 35 used a 40 instead.
