PRESIDENT'S   CUP  SCHEDULE

 

To:  GHMA members

 

In past years, the President's Cup was initiated and maintained by the Head Golf Pro and his staff.

 

After discussion with Glenn (our head pro) and the GHMA board of directors, it has been decided that the GHMA will assume responsibility for the President's Cup and will designate it as a major tournament. The President's Cup will replace the Jr/Sr. Tournament which has drawn minimal support over the last few years.

 

As we all know, completing the President's Cup within a specified time frame was always a problem because of scheduling difficulties. In order to try and eliminate this problem, a number of changes have been made.

 

These changes are as follows:

 

1.    Qualifying for the President's Cup

The weekends of May 12 & 13 along with the weekend of May 19 & 20 will be used for qualifying. Any association member can play either one(1), two(2),three(3) or 4 rounds in order to qualify (a fee of $10 will be charged for each round played).  The lowest round will be used to qualify for participation in the President's Cup. The maximum number of players that can qualify will be sixty-four (64), while the minimum number of players needed to have this tournament will be thirty-two(32).                 

2.  First(1st) and Second(2nd) Rounds

The 1st round for all players will be played on June 9th (Saturday) and the Saturday winners will play  in the 2nd round on June 10th (Sunday).  Tee times and match ups will be assigned by the tournament committee. After Sunday's round there will only be sixteen(16)  players remaining.

3. Third Round  

The third round(16 players) will be required to play their matches on the weekend of June 23rd or June 24th.

4.  Fourth round

 The 4th round(8 players)  will be required to play their matches on the weekend of July 21st or July 22nd.

5.  Semi-Finals

The semi-finals(4 players) must be played no later than the weekend of Aug.4th  & Aug. 5th.

6.  Finals

The finals must be played no later than the weekend of Aug. 18 & 19.

                                                

As with all of our major tournaments this year, all scores associated with the tournament will be entered as a “T” and the proper scoring adjustment (holes conceded/unfinished etc.) must be adhered to.  The handicap chairman and his committee will provide a sheet/explanation in detail prior to the tournament beginning and will also be responsible for entering the scores into the computer.
