Quest for the Seacoast Cup
Quest for the Seacoast Cup– This year will be full of fun times on the golf course. Several years ago the tournament committee added a new dimension to our club’s monthly event play by having Match Play events beginning September of our golf season. Players will earn their way to this year’s match play event. Points are earned by finishing well in both individual low gross and low net score postings. Also points are may be earned in different team and individual events ranging from match play, 4 man team best ball, and 2 man best ball events. Net Skins are also another category that allows players to add points to their monthly points.
Also, “Major” events were added, which will have increased value in scoring for that particular event. These events will take place in April and July of the golf season..
Remember only those players who have an Official SCGA or USGA golf index qualify for low net play and compete in Seacoast Christian Golf Club Points System. Players who participate in our events who do not have an official golf index / handicap, will be assigned a “Flight” depending on their level of play. These players also may be assigned a course handicap and may participate and qualify for team net play points . For information on how to obtain an official golf index contact Curtis Chan and visit : Membership and SCGA
Seacoast Cup Playoff Season – (September – November). If you have been playing in this golf group for over 5 years then you know that after August, our playoff season begins. Match Play format is instituted for our rounds, in addition to our low gross/low net play. With the added element of “match play,” players get to stir up their competitive juices and bring out their game faces to bring out the best golf they’ve ever played. Many players have shown their “A” game, while others find how difficult it is to play golf when everything is on the line.
This year, the Golf Tournament Committee has reviewed the last few seasons and have instituted a few new elements to our “Playoff Season.” All players with an official handicap can qualify to compete in the Secacoast Cup Playoffs. Players will be matched up in Events 9 – 10 according to their monthly indices. Each MATCH PLAY game is worth 40 points. A TIE MATCH is worth 20 points. Below is the playoff calendar of events. As players move deeper into the playoff season, the points increase in value (see table below) Note that events will take place every 2 weeks until November.
- No more “Bye” weeks for our top 4 players. All players will continue to earn points in our playoff season. This will allow players to possibly lose a match, but still continue in the playoffs if they have the points to sustain their level to be part of the TOP 8. Players position will be determined according to points seeding / standing and not necessarily dependent on WINs in a match. Our Club Champion will be the player who earns the most points by the end of the season .
- Players will continue to reply back to event invite emails to obtain their spots for the event.
- There will be no longer a “Player’s Bracket” as all players will qualify for the “Championship Bracket” provided they have an official index.
