Individual Match Play Rules
The winner of each match is responsible for promptly reporting match results:
- Complete the Match Play Form in the pro shop
- If you forget, email match results to bdgcnews@gmail.com
There are three formats for individual match play competition: the Club Championship, Cup Matches and Senior Cup Matches. The Club Championship and Cup Matches are open to all members (and members can register for either or both). Members who are at least 50 years old as of January 1st are also eligible for Senior Cup Matches.
Please contact your opponents ASAP and play matches by posted deadlines! All match deadlines must be met. If a deadline will be missed and one player has done everything possible to schedule a match while the other has done very little, provide documentation such as emails and texts for review by Bob Cohn. He will then make a determination. If a deadline passes without hearing from anyone, both players will be automatically disqualified - NO EXCEPTIONS. Schedule your matches early! Matches may not be played during Majors.
Club Championship Matches
Matches are played at scratch from the black tees. Anyone can enter the Club Championship. If more than 32 members register, the lowest handicap players will make the field. Payments will be collected for Club Championship after the field is finalized.
