Dear Members and Guests,
We extend a warm welcome to the Fall Member Guest. We are delighted to have you join us for an engaging few days filled with exceptional food, beverages, and competition. Our team is committed to providing you with a memorable golfing experience.
We would like to express our gratitude to our new Director of Golf, Nick Campbell, for pulling this event together with much uncertainty after the transition into the position, and the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. The transition was made easy by the tremendous Professional team under him, Head Golf Professional, Matt Presnell, 1st Assistant Professional, Morgan Kelley, and Assistant Professional Frank Taliento.
Additionally, we appreciate Course Superintendent, Daniel Farley and his team for their outstanding work in preparing the golf course, ensuring a fair and challenging experience for all participants. This year took some extra effort, as the team did a remarkable job cleaning up our beautiful club from the debris, and damage incurred from the hurricane. Our Club Manager, Rob Hubbard, along with F&B Manager Sarah Roese, and Executive Sous Chef Harry Mccellfresh are excited for the opportunity to exceed your expectations with the clubhouse offerings throughout the event.
We encourage everyone to attend the exciting Shootout on Saturday at 3:30 PM. Enjoy the festivities, and best of luck on the course.
Sincerely,
The Golf Committee
Luke Stockeland Nate Ditchfield

2-Man teams will play against their flight in a Net Ultimate Scorecard Competition. Each team will comprise a 1 better ball of 2 scorecard on day one, and then set out to improve as many scores as possible on day 2. The team with the lowest 18-hole scorecard after the 36 holes of competition will win their flight.
There will be 9 flights, and teams will be distributed based on their combined team handicap index.
All players have been assigned a playing handicap based on the tees that are being played, and their handicap index. Players’ handicaps may be adjusted during competition by the committee if deemed necessary.
Members will play their tournament tee. This was selected at the beginning of the season through golf genius. If you have not selected your tournament tee, the professional staff will reach out.
Each team player will play his own ball on each hole. On Day 1 the better net score of the two players on each hole will be the counting scores for the team. On Day 2, the team will look to improve each hole’s score from Day 1.
Example; On Day 1, Hole #3 the bet net score was a 4. On Day 2 the team is trying to improve with a net 3 or better on that hole. Any score higher than Day 1's 4 does not matter.
This will be the team with the lowest Net Ultimate Scorecard, who didn’t win their flight.
Ties for flight winners and wildcard will be broken with the best 1st Day total, Best 10-18 ultimate card total, best 12-18 ultimate scorecard total, best 16-18 ultimate scorecard total, 18-hole ultimate scorecard score in that order. If still ties, a chip off will determine the tie break.
The overall champion will be determined through a Shootout of all of the flight winners and the wildcard team. The Shootout will be net alternate shot format. One team member will choose to tee off on the first hole and then alternate from there until either eliminated or victorious.
10 Teams Play Hole #15
6 Teams Play Hole #16
