Frost Bite Open

Saturday March 13, 2021

 

Eligibility: This event is open to all members and players maintaining their handicap at the University of Maryland Golf Course.

 

Sign Up: All players must sign up by 5:00 pm on Thursday, March 11, 2021.

                Entry fees must be paid prior to the morning of the event!!

 

Format: This event is a four-person shamble with a few twists. 

-Twist #1, you enter as a 2-person team.  There must be a minimum of a 5 stroke difference in the players handicaps for the team. 

-Twist #2, once all teams have entered, we will blind draw another 2-person team to be you partners.  All four-person teams will play together.

-Twist #3, each 2-person team tees off and selects the drive they wish to use (each team selects one of their drives).  The 2 teams then hit their second shots                      from the location of the selected drives.  After the second shot, you play your own ball for the remainder of the hole.  Scoring will be two best balls of                    the team on the par 4’s and 5’s (both balls can be from the same team) and 3 best balls on the par 3’s. 

-Twist #4….all birdies count.  So…. even though you only have to record the 2 best scores on a par 4, if you make an extra birdie, count it!  Scoring will be                           based on how many under or over par your team is, not on the total number of strokes used.  Need more of an explanation, give the golf shop a call.

 

Play will be from the Gold tees for men under 60, White tees for men 60-74, Red/White mix for men 75 and older and Red tees for ladies. 

 

Entry Fee: $25 for full members/$50 for all others (includes entry fee, cart and prizes).  Everyone must prepay. 

 

Tee Times: Shotgun start at 9 am

 

Prizes: Twist #5, there will be a payout for the four-person teams and a special payout for the low gross and low net 2-person team (make sure one of the team members finish each hole even if the score is not going to count for the four-person team).
