WGRLQ Golf Events

Game Days are scheduled on Tuesdays during the season and they 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. Although on some Tuesdays the tee times may be reduced to a shorter time period or canceled completely. However, any Member can still participate in the Game Day competition during tee times before and after this time period 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 in to 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 they involve just regular play with no specific format assigned. The Pro shop reserves a block of tee times for Members to play on some Thursdays on one course usually between 8am-11am.  Although on some Thursdays the tee times may be reduced to a shorter time period or canceled completely.  All score cards should be turned in to 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 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 scramble to promote fun and designed to promote pace of play. Typically a foursome will consist of 2 Members and each of they’re guests. However, sometimes the WGRLQ Board will allow a Member to invite 3 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 is for all the food and beverage provided at the event which includes one specialty cocktail/mocktail, one house wine, or one draft beer.

 

 

 

Our Birdies competition is a season long event with prizes awarded at the end of the season. The prizes are funded by the WGRLQ dues. The Pro Shop will track each gross birdie that a Member scores during a qualifying Game Day, a Play Day, or a Guest Day or Member/Member tournament event if the format is a recordable format such as a Best Ball. Members may also record their birdie on the Birdies Scoring Sheet on the bulletin board in the Women’s Locker Room.  At the end of the season the number of Birdies on each course will be tabulated for each Member. The event is flighted and prizes will be awarded per flight to those Members with the most birdies for each course.

 

The Birdies and Ringers competitions are eligible on the same dates for the season. The Handicap Chair will indicate which dates are available for these competitions and they will be posted on the bulletin board in the Women’s Locker Room.

Our Ringers competition is a season long event with prizes awarded at the end of the season. The prizes are funded by WGRLQ dues. Members are automatically entered into the Ringers competition the first day they play on any course during a Game Day, Play Day, or a Guest Day or Member/Member tournament event if the format is a recordable format such as a Best Ball.  The Pro Shop will enter the score for each hole that betters the last score a Member had on that hole. At the end of the season, the Pro Shop will determine each Members best score on each hole for each course for the season.  The competition is flighted and prizes are awarded per flight for the best score for both courses. 

 

The Birdies and Ringers competitions are eligible on the same dates for the season. The Handicap Chair will indicate which dates are available for these competitions and they will be posted on the bulletin board in the Women’s Locker Room.

The USGA system records the Member whose handicap has improved the most during the season. This awarded member must have met WGRLQ Standing Rule qualifications in order to win.

 

The Eclectic tournament is a two-person, two-day golf tournament. Any Member can pair with another Member for play. The format includes play on a Tuesday and Thursday during a week. On Tuesday the team records the one best ball from the two players (both gross and net).
