Design Your Own Golf Tournament

[dagolfer18]

Hey guys! Thought this would be a fun thread. There are no rules here. You can be as generic or as interesting as you want. Tell us the name of your tournament, entry, format, and prizes at the end. I’ll start.

The name of mine would be The Club Championship. It will be played at my dream club (see that thread). Carts will be optional during this tournament, but highly recommended. You’ll see why. There will be a $100 entry fee for all members, and upon entry, you will be asked your handicap. This is for good reason. You will be flighted based on your handicap:

Championship: HCP 5 or below (Black Tees)

First Flight:  HCP 6-12 (Blue Tees)

Second Flight: HCP 13-20 (White Tees)

Third Flight: HCP 21 or above (White Tees)

There will also be Senior (60+), Super Senior (70+), and Ladies Flights, regardless of handicap. The Senior Flight will play the green tees, and the Super Senior and ladies will play reds.

The tournament will be five days long. The first two days will be qualifying rounds. The top 8 from each flight at the end of the two days will advance to the matchplay portion. One day for each round of matchplay, all matches 18 holes. There will also be a nine-hole consolation match on the same day as the finals.

There will be a ceremonial dinner at the end of the tournament, where prizes will also be given. Only those who made it to at least the semifinals will be awarded prizes. The winner from each flight will be awarded a plaque with their name and “XXXX Club Champion, X Flight” (the XXXX being the year) printed across the top, a $150 merchandise gift card, and three dozen golf balls. The losing finalist will also be given a plaque, gift card and balls, except the plaque will say Runner-Up instead of Champion, and the gift card will only be good for $100. The winner of the consolation match will win two dozen golf balls, and the loser of that match (4th place) will win one dozen.

So there’s my own golf tournament.
