"Rain or Shine"

St. Patrick's Day Four-Ball
Friday, March 17, 2016

The St. Patrick’s Day Four-Ball kicks off our 2017 Golf Season! In this event, Members are ready to brave all weather conditions for another celebration of Golf and "All Things Irish" at Mayacama. The Players enjoy the Four-Ball Stroke Play format almost as much as they do the Guinness!

FORMAT
Four-Ball Stroke Play (better ball of two partners – 18 Holes). In Four-Ball Stroke Play, two competitors play as partners, each playing his/her own ball. The lower score of the two partners is the score for the hole. If one player fails to complete the play of a hole, there is no penalty.

ELIGIBILITY
Open to all Golf Members of Mayacama Golf Club.  Please see Guests Section below.

GUESTS
Due to the popularity of this event we would like members to have the priority in signing up first.  Members who would like to play with a guest as their partner will be permitted to sign up on a space available basis beginning on Saturday, February 18th. 

TEAMS
Teams may be comprised of two Members or one Member and one guest (Member and Guest teams will be able to sign up beginning on Saturday, February 18th). 

HANDICAPS
Players will be allotted 90% of their respective Course Handicap. The Tournament Committee will be using your current USGA Handicap Index as of March 15, 2017.
