2022 Calendar Thursday Play Day Wednesday Play Day 2024 Calendar

Men's Wednesday

Play Days

Objective:Wednesdays: May 8 - September 18, 2024

Wednesday Men’s Days are designed to encourage participation in friendly, fun competition with social gatherings both before and after the event. There will be a mix of individual and team events. For the majority of Wednesday’s you will be able to create your own fourball. There will be a couple days during the year where we will ‘mix it up’ and have fourballs assigned by the Golf Shop. There will also be two season long competitions - a 14 week season long Reesor Cup tournament and a season long Ringer Board event ( gross and net).

In order to increase the number of prizes that are available we have implemented a $5 entrance fee for each time a member plays. All of the money raised from the entry fee will be added to the money provided by the Men's prize fund and given out as prizes on Wednesday Play Days.

Prizes:

Each Week, there will be three individual stableford prizes (1st $100; 2nd $70; 3rd $50) and two closest to the pin contests.

For those that stay for dinner (no dinner no winner) we will have a number of Pro Shop draw prizes Finally, there will be an optional net Canadian Skins game ($5 entry fee) open to everyone – Each player receives full handicaps, and if there is a tie between a Net score and a Gross score, the Gross score is deemed to have won.

Stay tuned for information on some fun formats to be announced in season.

Lots of prizes. All contest prizes, including Skins, will be in the form of Club Credits which may be used in either the Pro Shop or Bistro/Bar (New this year).

Participation in Reesor Cup and Ringer Board are not mandatory each week. Come out and play whenever works for you.

Food and Beverage:

Drinks will be available either at fixed locations on the course or via a drinks cart each Wednesday (will be charged to your account). An ‘after event’ meal will be available at a reasonable cost.

Reesor Cup & Ringer Board

Fourteen Week season long event

The Reesor Cup recognizes participation and weekly winners in a unique way. We want to encourage participation in our Wednesday Play Days, but we also understand that not everyone can play on Wednesdays. This season long event is therefore based on your scores submitted from the 14 Week Reesor Cup Season. Each Reesor Cup week starts on Sunday and you can choose to play your round on Sunday or on Wednesday Afternoon during Men’s Day. If you choose to post your score on Sunday you must notify the ProShop prior to teeing off. Please note that you can only post one score during the week and as a result, if you post your score on Sunday you can not post a score on Wednesday.

Scoring and Prizes:

Each week, participants will receive ‘Reesor Cup Points’ based on their participation and the position that they placed compared to the others in their Division. Points are as follows (Please note that the scoring has changed from last year):

All participants will receive 1 point for participating. If there is a tie for any position, the points are divided between the tied players. For example, if there is a tie for first place each player will receive 6.5 points based on ((6+5)/2+1).

The player with the highest accumulated points total at the end of the year will be awarded the Reesor Cup Trophy for their division. If there is a tie in either Division, a ‘playoff hole’ is to be played at Men’s Closing on September 27th. If one of the players can not attend on September 27th the players may play their one hole playoff in advance of Men’s Closing, but If the playoff has not been played prior to Men’s Closing and only one player is present on Closing Day that player will be declared the winner of the Reesor Cup. In addition to the winner, prizes for the players who finish 1st 2nd or 3rd place in each Division – (1st place $500; 2nd place $250; 3rd place $125).

Your scores from the 14 weekly Reesor Cup Wednesdays are used to determine the winner of the gross and net Ringer Boards. There is only one gross and net Ringer Board for all players – no Divisions. Scoring for the Ringer Boards is based on the season long best score each player posts for each hole during the 14 Reesor Cup weeks. (1st Place $250, 2nd place $100).

In singles match play, the match is won by the player who is leading by a number of holes greater than the number of holes remaining to be played After 100% handicap allowances are determined, the higherhandicapped player receives the full difference in Course Handicap between the two players; the lowerhandicapped player plays from scratch.

Example: A player with a Course Handicap of 17 receives four strokes from a player with a Course Handicap of 13 The player receives them on the first four allocated handicap-stroke holes.

Four-Ball Match Play

A match in which two players play as partners, scoring their best ball against the best ball of two other opponents. Each participant plays their own ball to completion of the hole and the lower score between the two is the "best ball" The team with the lower best ball score wins the hole After 90% handicap allowances are determined, the higher handicapped players receive the full difference in Course Handicap between them and the lowest player. The lowest player plays from scratch

Example: Players have the following course handicaps after the 90% reduction. Player A is 9, player B is 16, player C is 20 and player D is 23. Player A would play off (0) zero strokes, player B receives 7 strokes, player C receives 11 strokes and player D receives 14 strokes Note: The strokes received in Four-Ball match play remains the same even if the lowest handicap player is unable to play.

UNFINISHED HOLES AND CONCEDED STROKES

A player who starts but does not complete a hole or is conceded a stroke must record for handicap purposes the most likely score. The most likely score may not exceed double bogey. This most likely score should be preceded by an “X.” There is no limit to the number of unfinished holes a player may have in a round, provided that failure to finish is not for the purpose of handicap manipulation

Most likely score is a judgment that each player must make based on the player’s own game It consists of the number of strokes already taken plus, in the player’s best judgment, the number of strokes needed to complete the hole from that position more than half the time. The player must evaluate each situation based on what the player can reasonably expect to score.

Example 1: A and B are playing a match On a hole on which neither player receives a handicap stroke, A has holed out in 4; B has a 30-foot putt for a 5 B has lost the hole and picks up B records X-6 on the scorecard because 6 is B’s most likely score.

Example 2: A and B are playing a match. On a hole on which neither player receives a handicap stroke, A is one foot from the hole, lying 4. B is 10 feet from the hole, lying 3. B putts and misses. They both concede a half. Both players record X-5 because that is their most likely score

HOLES NOT PLAYED

If a player does not play a hole the score recorded for that hole for handicap purposes must be par plus any handicap strokes the player is entitled to receive on that hole

If 14 or more holes are played, the player must post an 18 hole score. If 7 to 12 holes are played, the player must post a nine hole score. In either case, scores for unplayed holes must be recorded as par plus any handicap strokes that the player is entitled to receive on the unplayed holes.

If the match is decided prior to the competing 18 holes the scores posted for holes that are played after the match is complete shall be the actual scores that the player scores on the post match holes. To post in any other manner would be at odds with the basic premise that contends that each player will try to make the best scores at every hole in every round If the committee believes that the player is inflating their scores on post match holes it may apply provisions of Section 8 (Handicap Factor Adjustment)

Scoring Glossary

Various Forms of Play

All forms of play may be gross or net.

Gross Score

The score for either a hole or for the round before a player’s handicap has been deducted. (The actual score).

Net Score

The score for either a hole or for the round after a player’s handicap has been deducted.

Stroke Play

Players compete against the field for best total score.

Match Play

Match play refers to competition hole-by-hole between two players or two partnerships. The side leading by more holes than there are holes left to play is the winner. When considering handicaps, the lower handicap person plays at scratch or 0 handicap and the higher handicap player receives the strokes (difference between the player’s handicap and the opponent’s) 'where they fall’ as indicated on the scorecard. For example, a handicap of 22 becomes zero and a 29 receives seven shots for that match.

Stableford

Stableford uses a points system, where the better you score on a hole the more points you receive. The goal is to accumulate the most amount of points during the round.

Scramble

You may use a team of two, three or four players. A low and medium handicapper should be selected for each team. Each person on the team drives, and the best drive is then chosen. Everyone hits his or her second shot from where the chosen drive landed. The best second shot is now chosen and play continues in this manner, including on the green until the ball is holed out.

Better Ball or Four Ball—Best Ball

A match in which two play as partners, scoring their best ball against the best ball of two other players. Each participant plays the ball to completion of the hole and the lower score between the two is the ‘best ball’. The team with the lower best ball score wins the hole.

In stroke play, the total of the team’s 18 ‘best ball’ holes is compared to the rest of the field.

Foursome or Alternate Shot

A match in which two play against two, and each side plays one ball. In standard alternate shot, one member of the team tees off on the even- numbered holes and the other member on the odd-numbered holes. Each partner alternates hitting their team ball until the ball is holed out.

Modified Alternate Shot (Chapman)

Similar to foursome or alternate shot, except that each player tees off, then switch and hit each other’s ball for the second shots. The players then choose the best-positioned ball and play alternating shots until the ball is holed.
