We WILL continue to play all rounds as captain's choice. For the courses on site at Legends, we will play from GREEN TEES. All rounds are again, morning rounds.
Each player will continue to get one RED TEE shot per day.
Once again, as is done in many captain's choice tourneys, this year we will require each team to use at least two (2) tee shots from each member of the team, regardless of whether it is a 4- or 3-man team. This will be tee shots on any hole, regardless of whether it is a par 3, 4, or 5. Red tee shots can count in required tee shots during the round.
Three-Man Teams
It appears that we will be without Mr. Dickerson this year due to him developing pneumonia.
Therefore on days where there are only three team members, the three players will alternate taking the groups 4th shot.
Players will alternate tee shots with Player 1 having extra tee shots on holes 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16. Player 2 will get extra tee shots on holes 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17. Player 3 will get extra tee shots on holes 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18.
Players will rotate additional extra shots on the hole. You are not required to take an extra shot. However, if you do not take the extra shot, you forfeit that shot and the next person takes the next extra shot.
Basic Information -
This year, once again, home base will be LEGENDS RESORT.

Sun. 8:58 AM at Moorland
Mon. 8:28 AM at Heathland
Be reminded that with our golf package, breakfast and lunch is included on site each day. We typically also get a couple of free beers at the clubhouse those days as well. With Covid-19, Legends has been doing meals as take out, but Myrtle is now allowing inside dining with restrictions. We'll play this by ear.
Every round is on site this year, so we will meet up for breakfast and finish in time to head to the bag drop 20-25 minutes before tee times.. Who knows, with Covid causing most packages to be canceled, we may get off early.
After each round, I will distribute the prize money for the day. The each member of the winning team receives $40 for the round. In the event of a tie, like has happened in the past, we will declare a definitive winner based on a tie-breaker (going with the lowest score on the #1 handicap hole and if still tied, moving to #2 handicap, the #3 until a winner is determined). If there is a tie and we cannot complete the round due to weather, the money will be split.
As we did last year, the members of the team that finishes in 4th place for the day is required to tee off the next day with pink Hello Kitty golf balls.
Here is our rooming list for this year (as of now).
1 - T Wilson, S. Dickerson (although he is doubtful), T. Haswell, M. Thompson
2 - R Haswell, C Higgins, D Denston,M. Tadych
3 - D Lane, B. Swarthout, CK Allen, M. Neebe
4 - K. Buhrdorf, K. Burhdorf, K. Mathers, R. Young
Rules for the course -
We do have to get to courses early. While breakfast is included at the clubhouse of the course we play each day, it imperative to pay attention to time. It is suggested that we arrive, at the course, no later than 20 minutes before the first tee time. It does take time to unload cars, get balls, tees, etc. together, load up carts and get out to the tees, etc. What you do with the extra few minutes (practice putting, go to the range, go to the john, check out the pro shop or try to get a preview of the cart girls) is up to you.
Collared shirts are required. No one has trouble with mock turtles, just make sure there are no t-shirts.
Condos do have washers/dryers, so don't hesitate to pack light and do laundry there.
Like most of Myrtle Beach courses, the courses this year DO NOT allow coolers. Of course whatever you can put IN your bag........
