Tournament Qualifying

The following rules were designed to create an atmosphere of tournament golf while attempting to qualify for the Men's Club major events.

1. The number of holes required for qualifying is 18.

2. Sign up for the President Cup, Vice President Cup and the Club Championship will be on the Men's Club bulletin board and on this website.

3. Sign up for Shoreline and Interclub events will be in the Pro Shop and on this website. They both require a $20 qualifying fee.

4. Pairings will be made based on:

    • requested dates of play
    • handicap
    • perceived familiarity with playing partners. The Men's Club Board discourages regular playing partners qualifying together even though it may be necessitated if the number of people trying to qualify is limited.

5. Pairings will be posted no later than the Thursday prior to the weekend before the qualifying round.

6. The participants are responsible for contacting each other and obtaining a tee time via the tee time system for the weekend they are qualifying. If difficulty arises with a pairing partner(s), please contact Tom Aberle or Carl Gregorio. Even if your group has less than four players, you must obtain a tee time for a foursome (except Friday time slots). This protects the rest of the field in case a group gets shut out from the tee time system. The Tournament Co-Chairmen will fill any vacancies with members who were shut out.

7. After you obtain your tee time, write the tee time next to your names on the pairing sheet on the Men's Club bulleting board.

8. Following the round of golf, the official Men's Club Tournament Scorecard(s) must be signed, attested, entered in the computer as a "Tournament" ("T") score, and turned into the Pro Shop.

9. The Men's Club does not receive any special treatment when it comes to the Sterling Farms tee times. When you sign up to qualify you must accept any available tee time. If you do not accept a time that was available, your entire foursome will be excluded from the event they are trying to qualify for.

10. Only rounds that cannot be completed due to poor weather in which the golf course is officially closed (players called off the course for severe or dangerous weather) for a period of more than two hours will be considered for continuation of play on another day if possible. Play will continue from the point where you were called off the course even if play continues on another day. Men's Club Tournament Chairmen's decision is final.

11. 10 Round Rule: Starting in 2009, you must now have 10 rounds posted in order to be automatically eligible to participate in our special tournaments. A minimum of 3 out of the 10 rounds must be from the current season, with the remaining (7 maximum) coming from the previous year, if needed.

Failure to meet this criteria is handled on a case by case basis. After speaking with the member a decision will be made on the following:

Please contact Tom Aberle or Carl Gregorio with any questions or concerns.
