ONGOING EVENTS Our team has designed a number of events to keep you busy the entire season:
WOMEN’S GROUP (WG) WEDNESDAY MORNING PLAY The purpose of the WG Morning Play is to provide our Members the opportunity to play golf in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Each week we will have a fun, competitive format. A weekly entry will be paid out in Sports Shop credit to the winners.
WOMEN'S GROUP (9-HOLE) This group is in conjunction with our regular 18-hole group. The 9-hole group is designed for the golfer who may not be ready yet for a full round, or may not have the time. The group will begin at 11:30AM to make sure we can all gather after the round and mingle.
MEN’S GROUP (MG) THURSDAY MORNING PLAY Our MG Morning Play is a weekly gathering for Members only, featuring a different format available for both individual and team competitions. The formats will range from Individual Skins games, Stableford Team events, Scrambles, and Net Best-Ball events. The entry fee is a credit book charge that goes into the prize pool. The top winning teams or individuals will be paid out in Sports Shop credit. After the round, all players are invited to meet at The Sawyer for lunch and scoring.
WOMEN’S & MEN’S GUEST DAYS Once a month, we will invite all our Golf Members to bring up to three guests for a fun team event that includes prizes and lunch after the round. This is a great way to show off your Club to friends at a discounted guest fee.
COUPLES GOLF NIGHT Couples Golf Night aims to highlight the social aspects of golf. In each event, couples are paired together to play a low stress round of golf and enjoy dinner after the round. Couples Golf Night plays 9-holes on one Friday every month throughout the season in a 3PM shotgun start. These events are for Members only, and all couples must sign up 24 hours in advance of the scheduled event.

Handicaps
Each team will have a 10 stroke differential. The USGA recommends that the spread between partners' Course Handicaps be limited to eight strokes. If the spread is greater, USGA studies have shown those teams have an unfair advantage. OSWGA has adopted a 10 stroke differential for some partner tournaments.
Max handicap for all tournaments will be 38.
Round 1 will use 75% of each player’s June 19 Handicap
Round 2 will use 100% of each player’s June 19 Handicap
Women will compete from the Bronze tees and Men will compete from the Blue/White Combo tees.
OLD GLORY July 1
This event brings a little extra fun to the game. If a player is a 10 Handicap, they will play as many holes as they can until they hit their 81st shot. When their ball comes to rest, they will put their flag in the ground marking how far they were able to play. The objective is to play the most holes before reaching Net Par 71. Tee times are before 12PM.
