THE "5TH MAJOR"
PARTNERS CHAMPIONSHIP

"The 5th Major", our biggest event, will be played Sunday, October 25 at Southern Oaks GC.

All GGS members and guests are invited to play. This will be a two-man team Stableford competition played over 18 holes.

You will need a partner, but don�t hesitate to sign-up alone as we will pair you with another single.

All are welcome, and it goes without saying that the event will be as much about having FUN as it is about winning!


Format: Team Stableford versus Quota

  • Two-Man Teams score both balls on a Stableford basis for a total team score over 18 holes.
  • Players are able to choose either the White or Blue tees.
  • Total Team Stableford scores are compared to Team Quota, based on the tees players choose to play.
  • Three prizes will be awarded: best score versus quota on 1) the front nine, 2) the back nine and 3) the overall 18 holes.
  • Quotas are determined by subtracting player's handicap from 36 (18 holes x 2 points for par)
  • Stableford scores are based on the following:

    Double Bogey = 0     Bogey = 1      Par = 2
    Birdie = 3      Eagle = 4      Double Eagle = 5

Example:

Player A handicap playing White Tee = 12
Player A Quota from White Tee = 24 (36-12)

Player B handicap playing Blue Tee = 14
Player B Quota from Blue Tee = 22 (36-14)

18 Hole Team Quota = 46 (24 + 22)
Front Nine Quota = 1/2 of total = 23
Back Nine Quota = 1/2 of total = 23

If Player A & B combine for 26 points on the Front Nine and 19 points on the Back Nine their Score versus Quota would be:

Front Nine Quota = 23
Front Nine Actual = 26
Score Versus Quota = +3

Back Nine Quota = 23
Back Nine Actual = 19
Score Versus Quota = -4

18 Hole Quota = 46
18 Hole Actual = 45
Score Versus Quota = -1

Prizes:

Front Nine
$100 for winning team
$ 50 for 2nd place

Back Nine
$100 for winning team
$ 50 for 2nd place

Overall 18
$100 for winning team
$ 50 for 2nd place

When: Sunday, October 25 (Tee Times begin at 9:12am)

Where: Southern Oaks Golf Course ($55 including cart & range)

Entry Fee: $15 per player (invoiced by GGS)
