WGRLQ Golf Events

Game Days are scheduled on Tuesdays during the season and include both individual and team formats. The Pro Shop reserves a block of tee times for Members to play on Tuesdays on one course usually between 8am-11am. Some Tuesday tee times may be reduced or cancelled completely due to other RLQCC events. A Member can still participate in the Game Day competition during tee times before and after the designated tee times on the same course so long as she plays with other Members and informs the Pro Shop. Each Game Day prize purse varies per event and the prizes are funded from the WGRLQ dues. The Pro Shop will give each Member the Game Day score card when they check in for their tee time and each Member should turn that score card into the Pro Shop at the end of their round.  The Pro Shop will post all scores on Game Days.

 

Play Days are scheduled on Thursdays during the season and involve regular play with no specific format assigned. The Pro shop reserves a block of tee times for Members to play on Thursdays on one course usually between 8am-11am.  Some Thursday tee times may be reduced or cancelled completely due to other RLQCC events.  All score cards should be turned into the Pro Shop after play. The Pro staff will post all scores, unless “practice round” is written on the score card.

 

For both Game Days and Play Days, each Member will receive an email from the Pro Shop approximately 7 days in advance that will provide a link to sign up for a particular tee time from 8am to 11am.  The link will open at 7am the week prior to the Game or Play Day.  By clicking on the link, the Member will be able to sign herself – as well as other Members – up for a particular tee time.  

Each season, WGRLQ hosts three single day Guest Days that are themed. The Guest Days are typically scheduled for early December, mid-February, and early April. The golf format is usually a best ball or step-aside scramble.

 

Typically, a foursome will consist of two Members and each of their guests. However, sometimes the WGRLQ Board will allow a Member to invite three guests to have in her foursome. The tournament is flighted for equal opportunity with at least one-third of the field being awarded prizes for their golf performance.

A Mixer is a golf event that is designed to provide an opportunity for Members to be randomly paired with other Members to promote socialization among the Members. The Pro Shop will create each foursome with an ABCD player. Mixers will be played with various different types of golf event formats with the majority being a scramble type format. The total prize budget for each mixer varies and is funded by the WGRLQ dues. The event fee covers the food and beverage provided at the event which includes one specialty cocktail/mocktail, one house wine, or one draft beer.

 

 

 

The Birdies competition is a flighted event that begins on Opening Day and continues through the end of the season, typically in early to mid April.  Prizes are awarded to the players in each flight with the highest number of gross birdies recorded on both courses during the season.  Prizes are funded by the WGRLQ dues.

 

To receive credit for a Birdie, the score must have occurred on a designated WGRLQ Tuesday Game Day or Thursday Play Day, and the member must have been playing her own ball from tee to green the entire 18 holes.  Golf Genius will be used to track all birdies throughout the season.

 

The Ringers competition is a flighted event that begins on Opening Day and continues through the end of the season, typically in early to mid April.  A Ringer is your best gross score on any given hole during play on both the Jones and Pate courses.  Prizes are awarded to players in each flight and are funded by the WGRLQ dues.

 

To receive credit for a Ringer, the score must have occurred on a designated WGRLQ Tuesday Game Day or Thursday Play Day, and the member must have been playing her own ball from tee to green the entire 18 holes.  Golf Genius will be used to track all Ringers throughout the season.

 

 

This award is calculated by the Rules/Handicap Chair and the Pro Shop using the USGA Performance Improvement Factor and is presented at the April General Meeting.  A minimum of 10 rounds must be played in WGRLQ events to be eligible.  This award can only be won one time in any consecutive five-year period.

The Eclectic tournament is a Member-Member two-person, two-day golf tournament. The event typically occurs on a Tuesday and Thursday during a week in January. 

 

On Tuesday, the team records the one best ball from the two players (both gross and net). On Thursday, the team only records one best ball score when that score is BETTER than the team’s Tuesday score on that particular golf hole.  The Tuesday rounds will be posted by the Pro Shop.  The Thursday rounds are not posted as players will pick up when they have not improved their Tuesday score.

The Partner Challenge tournament is a Member-Member two-person, two-day golf tournament. The event typically occurs on a Tuesday and Thursday during a week in April and is followed by the April General Meeting. The golf format for this tournament varies from year to year.
