Elmore's Envitational

In Recognition of The Big Puma's Little Puma

Origins

After a recent acquisition by the Bonesaw Tour of a coveted membership at Innisbrook Resort and Spa, the tour set its sights on an event. But when would we fit it into the calendar? Getting these clucking hens to agree on a date is nigh impossible. It’s often said it’s harder to get these schedules organized than it is to witness Elmore miss a 5 footer (automatic). But divine intervention was set upon us as the most exclusive group of members (The Copperheads) coordinated a 5 members on April 13th, and the wheels were set in motion. Each member has the opportunity to invite up to 7 guests and by my rudimentary calculations we have up to 40 slots open for competition.

But we can’t play for nothing, that would go against the tours M.O. (Justin, that’s short for the Latin term Modus Operandi). Let us reflect for a second, can there be a better cause for celebration than the introduction of life? We literally celebrate it every winter. And it just so happens one of the Founding Members is set to have his daughter later this spring (#GirlDad #TheFutureIsFemale) and we have unanimously decided to create this potentially annual event in honor of her arrival (if she is named after me then we’ll give you this tournament slot for life brotha)

PACE OF PLAY IS STRICTLY ENFORCED
IF YOU ARE AT DOUBLE BOGEY OR WORSE; PICK UP. SLOW GROUPS MAY BE ASKED TO SKIP A HOLE

Tournament Details

Tee Times: TBD

Course: Dunedin Golf Club

Fees: TBD

Scoring: Quota

Rules: Quota

Every player starts off with a negative quota. The better you are, the more negative your quota is. You earn points by scoring (bogey = 1, par = 2, birdie = 4, eagle = 8). The winner is the player with the best relationship to their quota. For example:

  • Player A has a (-20) quota
  • Scores 16 points in their round
  • They now have scored (-4)

If Player B with a (-16) quota had the same day, they would be at (0) and place better

You’re quota has either been earned through previous rounds or will be assigned based on your handicap and the commissioners personal feelings towards you

 

BSGA OFFICIAL PLAYING RULES

We play the ball as it lies, no gimmies, foot wedges, or preferred lies. PLAY THE BALL DOWN. The only exception is on white stakes (OB) which we play as red stakes which confers a lateral drop or drop in line option.

Live Scoring

All players are encouraged to download Squabbit on their phones in order to keep track of live scoring. However, one player from each group MUST have the app and input their group scores after each hole.

  1. Player has recorded at least 2 rounds at tour sanctioned events and as earned an average
  2. Player has an established handicap and is given a quota of (36 – handicap)
