Separate boards for the Red and Gold Tees will be available for members who wish to play either of the tees over the season. Enter your first score for each hole on the appropriate Ringer Board. When your score for a hole improves, simply cross out the previous score and enter the new lower score for that hole. The scores entered may be from 9 or 18 hole rounds. The Ringer Board is located on the bulletin board in the Ladies’ Locker Room. All Ladies’ Club members may use the Ringer Board.

What is the Game-of-the-Week

Game-of-the-Week is a weekly tournament which may be played by Ladies’ Club members. A different tournament event is chosen each week.
Game-of-the-Week events and details are listed on the web site and in the roster book.

Play from the RED OR GOLD TEES, regardless of your handicap. There are 2 flights.  Winners are declared based on best score for that week’s event Prizes will be distributed weekly.

Guidelines for Game-of-the-Week play:

  • Play your Game-of-the-Week with another Ladies’ Club member
  • Days of play are any day from Tuesday to Sunday.
  • Prior to teeing off, advise Pro Shop of your intention to play your Game-of-the-Week and advise them of the tee you have selected for this week’s game.
  • For partner events, partners or teams must play on the same day but not necessarily together and from the same tees.
  • The Rules of Golf prevail; no gimmes; no do-overs; no ‘max’; no picking up.
  • At the end of your game, the Pro Shop will enter your score on their chart for this week’s game
  • Using the rules of Equitable Score Control scoring, enter all your games into the computer to maintain your handicap.
  • Post your Game-of-the-Week scores on the Birdie/Bogey/ Par/Chip-In Board, as appropriate.

President’s Cup and Bridgewater Shield

The President’s Cup and Bridgewater Shield are match play events with an elimination round format played from the Red tees. The President’s Cup is singles match play and the Shield is a 2-person team (best ball) match play.

Sign up sheets are posted early in the season.

If you would like to play in the Bridgewater Shield but you do not have a partner, please contact the Match Play Coordinator (Judy Leonard) and she will try to find a partner for you.

Scoring is based on 80% of your handicap which must be up to date. Therefore, before play starts, you are required to have a minimum of 5 scores posted for the current calendar year. If you have played elsewhere through the winter, those scores should be posted.

Make sure you (& your partner) are available to play before the deadlines, as set by the tournament committee. You need to be available both weekdays and weekends. Matches must be finished by the deadlines because time limits between rounds are short. Failure to do so may result in disqualification unless special arrangements have been approved by the Match Play Coordinator.

It is the responsibility of the players to arrange a date for the match. As soon as you know your opponent(s), contact her (them) to set a date and a rain date.

Notify the Pro Shop a few days before your match so your score cards can be prepared by the Pro Shop. Based on the Rules of Golf, it is the player’s responsibility to verify the strokes on the cards are allotted correctly for match play. In the event of a tie, there will be a sudden death playoff, starting on the first hole.
