New members handicaps: You will get your BGC Hcp after
having posted five scorecards to BGC. Until we have recorded these first
five rounds your handicap in our weekly tournaments will be 0. If you have
an existing, valid handicap, we can enter that for you but you must bring
your hcp card and show it to the committee member on duty when scores are
computed. You must continue to do so until you have five rounds in the BGC
hcp system.
Be sure to turn in ALL of your scorecards!!! We will
post your scores for you. Just turn them in at any BGC event, or drop them
off in the BGC box at the entrance to the Pavillion. Remember that they
must be signed by yourself and your marker. This will ensure you are
always playing off an accurate handicap. Please help yourself and your
fellow members to keep your scores current!

their logos!
Tournament
news 2008:
Due to the positive feedback of
last year'dual-class system, we will again run two levels of competition
for regular BGC events. Class A is for those playing off of handicaps of
18 or less, and Class B for those with handicaps over 18. You will compete
in the class based on your handicap as of the date of play. A few events
will be based on a single handicap class, namely the 2-man better-ball
competitions and the Annual Club Championship.
Order of Merit points will be
also distributed by class, i.e. top 5
in each class will be awarded Order of Merit points. For
the single-class competition events, Order-of-Merit points will be awarded
to the top 10 participants.
Thanks to the
generosity of our sponsors we will have prizes for all of the following:
Nearest the pin for all Par 3's
Longest drive (men and women)
Lowest gross
Top 1-3 in class A and class B for two-class events
Top 1-5 in single-class events
Note that winners must be present to receive prizes. If a winner is not
present, prizes will automatically be awarded to the next contender on the
list.
There will be a Monthly Medal
for the last Sunday game every month from March to October. At Monthly
Medal events we award double Order of Merit points. We also expect, like
previous years, to be able to award special prizes to the winners in each
class.
