Member / Guest Tournament
The Member / Guest Tournament is a great event to show off the Sterling Farms Golf Course to golfers who are not members of the Men’s Club as well as golfers who are not residents of Stamford. It is normally played in August. It is played as a Best Ball of 2 format. You are allowed to select your foursome (other twosome) or let the pro shop select for you.
Prizes
Awards are given to the two-man teams for both Gross and Net scores. The top 5 Gross team scores earn an award. The top 10 Net team scores earn an award. Net scores utilize 80% of each team member's Course Handicap.
In addition to the Gross and Net awards, the Club traditionally has:
- Closest to the pin on holes 5, 8, 15 & 17 (Member & Guest)
- Closest to the line on hole 9 (Member & Guest)
- Beat the pro on hole 15
- Longest drive on hole 18 (Member & Guest)
Don't forget that raffle tickets are available from the pro-shop personnel. The raffle will be held at lunch.
Sign Ups
Sign up for the Member / Guest can only be done at the pro shop. The cost is $75 per member ($150/twosome). Sign up starts approximately one month prior to the event. Signing up in the pro shop ends the Sunday prior to the event. Please provide the pro shop with your guest’s GHIN # and home course if possible.
Event Itinerary
The day of the event you will need to check in. The check in table is located in front of the pro shop. You will have the option of purchasing raffle tickets at this time. A continental breakfast is provided under the tent behind the Royal Green Restaurant. The pro shop will provide some instructions for the day and then begin play with a shotgun start.
Once your round is complete:
- Immediately turn in your scorecard
- Return the golf cart
- Post your score to the pro shop computer with a ‘T’
(Ask for help if you do not know how to do this)
- Join us for lunch and drink under the tent
Once everyone has had a chance to get some food the pro shop personnel will begin the awards ceremony in conjunction with the raffle.
We hope to see you there!
