ELIGIBILITY:
- Chesapeake Bay Golf Club’s Men’s Stag Day is a member’s only tournament.
- Open only to male CBGC Members with a USGA Handicap Associated with CBGC as well as our “Player’s Club” which is non-golf members with a USGA Handicap Associated with CBGC.
- Members are permitted to bring a guest to these events (guest as defined as a golfer with no association with CBGC), as long as they have an active and verifiable USGA GHIN Handicap Number. If you are bringing a guest, please make sure to fill out their name and GHIN on registration.
FORMAT & FLIGHTING:
- Gross better ball tournament
- Pre-flighted by combined playing handicap.
- If the higher handicapped golfer has a handicap exceeding 9 strokes of the lower handicapped golfer (for example, a 3 handicap pairing with a 15 handicap), the higher handicap will have their handicap reduced to 9 strokes within their partner’s handicap (in the case of the 3 with the 15, the 15 handicap will have their handicap reduced to a 12 for the combined handicap of 15 as opposed to 18). This is to keep flights competitive and prevent low handicappers from “sharking” – aka being placed in the higher flights.
PAYOUT INFORMATION (derived from entry fee):
- $200 in gift cards in each flight.
- 1st place in each flight receives $120 in gift cards ($60 to each player)
- 2nd place in each flight receives $80 in gift cards ($40 to each player)
CALCUTTA (CASH ONLY!):
- Prior to the event starting at 11:00 A.M. we will have a calcutta auction.
- Each team will be auctioned off, with the starting bid at $50 a team and increasing in increments of $10. There is no limit to how many teams you can own. If you do not buy your own team, you always have the right to buy in for half.
- The pot will be distributed accordingly to each flight based on what each team was sold for (for example, the A flight may have $1200 in it and the B flight may have $850 in it and so on and so forth).
- Payouts for calcutta within the flight will be 50% of the pot for 1st place, 30% for 2nd place, and 20% for 3rd place.
SIDE WAGERS:
As is custom with Stag Days, you are permitted to make as many side wagers as you’d like. Make sure your wallet is stocked and keep a notepad handy!
OUR FAMOUS 4-HOLE SHOOTOUT:
($30 cash per golfer – $20 goes to cash prizes, $10 to course)
The Friday night before the event – August 22 – we will have our famous 4-Hole Shootout at 4pm and is open to anyone (even folks not in the tournament).
The format is a 2-player scramble (handicapped based on team composition). Based on 8 teams playing, this is how it goes:
- On the first hole, 6/8 teams move onto the second hole. The top 6 are safe, although if there are any ties for a spot to move on we have a chip-off to decide who moves on. The closest teams move on, and 2 teams are eliminated.
- On the second hole, 2 more teams are eliminated. Once again, any ties for a final spot are decided by a chip off.
- On the third hole, 2 more teams are eliminated. Once again, any ties for a final spot are decided by a chip off.
- On the fourth hole, only 2 teams remain. If there is a tie, we go to a closest-to-the-pin contest on the fifth hole par 3. Winning team wins 60% of pot, and the runner-up team wins 40% of the pot.
- Even if you are eliminated, the real fun is hanging around – the beverage cart will be with us the entire time and we make non-stop side bets. Bring your wallet and a notepad because it can get pretty crazy! Happy hour and food to follow the shootout.
