Rule Changes -
We WILL continue to play all rounds as captain's choice. One new addition to the captain's choice. This year each player will get one RED TEE shot per day.
We will continue with the Denston/Wilson Modified Scoring Method to determine the overall winner. Positive points Par +1, Birdie +3, Eagle +5...... Bogey-2, Double or worse -3.
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.
In the event that there are only three team members, the three players will alternate taking the 4th shot.
Basic Information -
This year we will be staying at WINDSOR GREENS Condos at Man O War golf course in Carolina Forest.
Be reminded that with our golf package, lunch is included on site Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We also get a couple of free beers at the clubhouse those days as well. Breakfast Fri, Sat, and Sunday is available at IHOP prior to the round. IHOP is on 501, one light south, at the entrance to Legends. We also get a voucher for a free steak dinner at Logan's Roadhouse.
The way this works, when I check in on Thursday afternoon, all vouchers and condo keys will be given to me to distribute.
No meal or beer is included at Wold Tour.
On Friday we need to meet at the Man O War clubhouse. I will check in at the pro shop to get everything squared away. Tee time is 1:00 so plan to arrive at noon.
For those coming down on Friday, you/we can check in at condos after the first round.
After each round, I will distribute the prize money for the day. The winning team receives $160 each day. In the event of a tie, like day one in 2012, 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 happened a few years ago at Heathland).
After conversation with a few people, we will go with this rooming list.
1 - T Wilson, K. Buhrdorf, S. Miller, K Mathers
2 - R Haswell, C Higgins, D Denston, T. Haswell
3 - D Lane, CK Allen, B. Swarthout, M. Tadych
4 - D. Moore, M Thompson, D Clemson, J. Healy
Rules for the course -
We do have to get to courses early. While we have meals before each round we still need to be ready to go early. It is suggested that we arrive ready, 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. The courses the first two days, Man O War and Wizard, are on location (just different clubhouses). I will bring directions in case they are needed for Sunday (Witch) and Monday (World Tour). Of course I'm sure everyone has GPS.
No jeans allowed.
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.
Unlike most of Myrtle Beach courses, the courses this year DO ALLOW COOLERS.
Remember to bring any medication you need. That includes aspirin, Pepto or anything else for your stomach or head.
