March 9, 2010 -  Individual Stableford

Today we played an individual stableford and we had twenty-seven (27) players. In a “stableford” your handicap determines the number of strokes (if any) that you get off your gross score on each hole.  In a stableford, a net bogey is one point, a net par is two points, a net birdie is three points, a net eagle is four points and a net double eagle is five points.  If you play to your handicap, you should have 36 points (even) at the end of the round.

The A flight consisted of players with handicaps of 17 or less, while the B flight players had handicaps of 18 or higher.

Today’s results (gross, points over 36 and points towards player of the month) are:

A flight

1^st- Michael Hawkins (75, +8, 6 points)

2^nd- Rob White (83, even, 4 points)

3^rd- Sandi Wagner (85, even, 3 points)

4^th- Dennis Fitzgerald (89, even, 2 points)

5^th- Randy Scott (86, -2, 1 point)

B flight

1^st- Tony Maggio (87, +5, 6 points)

2^nd- Jim Goss (85, +5, 4 points)

3^rd- Ed Dobler (87, +4, 3 points)

4^th- Al Zakowski (93, +4, 2 points)

5^th- Norman Sklar (88, +1, 1 point)

Ties were broken by points on the last nine (10-18), last six (13-18), last three (16-18) and last hole (18).  The top three places in each flight will be paid.

Jeff McLaughlin won lunch at Brad’s Grille in Momentum Mall for closest to the pin on #17.  Today, we raffled 15 mil colones from the third hole-in-one pool and Rob White had the winning ticket. 

Next Cariari-CVGA event

Monday, March 15, is our next tournament at the Cariari Country Club.  The format will be a modified stableford.  The cost per player is $35, which is the same rate as 2009, and the entry fee is 6 mil.  Carts and/or caddies are not included in that price.  We have to guarantee twelve non-Cariari players per tournament and tee times will begin as early as 6:30 a.m.  If you commit to playing and then do not show up, we have to pay your green fee.

The hole in one pool will be available when we play a Cariari-CVGA tournament.  Club members will be invited to join us at our regular 6 mil colones entry fee and they will be eligible for the hole in one pool. 

Next Texas Scramble

Tuesday, April 13, is the next Texas Scramble.

Hole in one pool

The hole in one pool is frozen at $2,500.00 USD. The next person to have a “hole in one” wins that pool (multiple holes in one in the same event will split the money).  A hole in one must be on a par three hole and witnessed by all those in the foursome.  Also, the hole in one pool is only available in our Valle Del Sol tournaments and Cariari-CVGA events.  Finally, a normal par four or par five hole that has been temporarily change to a par three (due to any reason) does not qualify for the hole in one pool.   

The new hole in one pool is now frozen at $2,500.00 USD and will be awarded for a hole in one after the first $2,500.00 has been paid. 

The third hole in one pool is now $589.50 USD.  Each week 15 mil colones (about $28) of the third pool will be raffled until there is a hole in one.

See you on the course,
