Questions about TorontoGolfNuts.com's Golf Tournament

[Mok]

Hi, I got a few questions today about the tournament, I'll post them here so that the questions aren't repeated.

Is it 2 or 4 man best ball?
It's 4 man best ball

Is it best ball or scramble?
Best ball.

What is best ball?
All players play out the hole from the beginning and the best score is taken.

What is scramble? (we are not playing this format)
Four shots off the tee, 3 people take their balls to where the best shot was and shoots from there.

Can you enter as a foursome?
Yes, absolutely!

When? Where?
July 24, 2005
Angus Glen Golf Club (north course), Markham

Will we need handicap cards and hope there aren't too many sandbaggers amongst us?
The tournament format is 4 man best ball, there is no need for handicap cards.

[Ego Woods]

This should be a sticky in case there are more questions. :D

Soooooooooooo...........whose thinking of entering this tournament? Would love to see some faces attached to the funky names! :)

[Ems]

I'll think about it ;)

[Special_K]

I should be there too :)

[monenzad]

sounds great, where when?

[Mok]

When? Where?
July 24, 2005
Grey Silo, Waterloo

[swaaain]

[duffer_devon]

I have forwarded the info to my playing partners and will let you know if they are in. Please send me the registration info as I will be joining the event even if they do not.

[Mok]

The tournament information page (http://www.torontogolfnuts.com) has been updated (prizes, contest, etc...).

There is now a registration form to the tournament! I have attached it with this post.

The tournament format is 4 man best ball, there is no need for handicap cards.

Question re:Handicaps


Eventhough it is 4 Man Best Ball, should there still not be some sort of equitable way of determining the teams via handicap? i.e., 1 A player, 1 B player, 1 C player, 1 D player?

Would seem to be too obvious that a team of single digits is going to beat a team of double digits most days...

Would seem to be too obvious that a team of single digits is going to beat a team of double digits most days...I agree with that. The only problem is guys want to play with their buddies. That is why we need strokes. Your best ball score will be from each players net score for the hole. That way a team of four high handicappers can still compete with a team of four low handicappers.

Great Course...one of my faves!

The prize breakdown is not available yet, we have a lot of prizes already, but we want to get a complete list of prizes before we divvy it up for the different contest, but you can rest assure there is no shortage of prizes and they won't be crappy either. :) If you take a look at the Tournament page (http://www.torontogolfnuts.com/tournament.php), there is a listing of a few of the prizes that are secured. We are still in the process of deciding whether the participating field would prefer us to spend money on prizes or trophies. :)

The tournament start time is going to be in the afternoon at around 1 pm.

It's not $125 haha...unless you wait till the last minute and pay by PayPal.

The tournament fee will include range balls, cart and meal. (also mentioned on the tournament page (http://www.torontogolfnuts.com/tournament.php))

[Mepoor]

Mok,

Mepoor from RFD here.

I dug up one guy so far and hopefully will get two more over the weekend for a 4-some. I will email the form to you and send you a cheque for $200 (or posibly $400) on Monday. The post date on the envelope should confirm that we firmed by the Tuesday deadline.

If, for whatever reasons, the tourni gets cancelled do we get our money back?? Please advise.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers,
Mepoor

[Mok]

Mok,

Mepoor from RFD here.
I scrunged up four guys and am going to email the form to you today and send you a cheque for $400. I'll post the cheque later today.

If, for whatever reasons, the tourni gets cancelled do we get our money back?? Please advise.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers,
Mepoor
To be honest, the only reason we would cancel is if Angus Glen decides to close for the day due to weather conditions, in that case, we have to see what Angus Glen's policy is, we are checking on this matter and as soon as I have a definite answer, I will post it.

BTW - I had to edit my first post down to 2 guys until I firm up them the other two guys on the weekend....

[Queen of the Beach]

[dks_34]

Hey Mok,

For the people that didn't join up as a Foursome are we going to know ahead of time who we will be playing with? Or will we find out at the tournament?

Thanks!

[Grrreg]

So for those like me who spent far too much time confirming all 4 members of a foursome, how long is the waiting list and what are the odds there will be full foresome spots available?

[Mok]

Hi dks_34, good question,

I will let you know before hand who you will be playing with, but this would probably not be finalized until closer to the tournament.

-Mok

We have 144 people registered for the tournament. The waiting list has a couple of foursomes and a few singles/twosomes on it.

[SnoopyGolf]

Hey Mok:

If this is true then according to the Angus Glen North Course information, the men will be teeing off closer than the ladies :rofl: . Check out the course information and you see what I mean, the blue tees have less yardage than the red tees. :eek: . I assume that you'll fix this eventually?

actually from the Angus website, the order of the tee boxes from closer to furthest is: red, white, blue, yellow, black

you're right SnoopyGolf...the colours on the html version of their website seem to be wrong, look at the flash version...

[SnoopyGolf]

Ya, I see it now. If you go to the Angus Glen web site and look at the North Course information, you'll see the correct hole information. Thanks for the clarification.

and the shotgun start is tenatively at 2pm!2pm?!? What the... :( . That's pretty late in the day for a Sunday - practically twilight! :rolleyes: I thought I saw 1pm in earlier statements - or was I dreaming??

Can you get it any earlier?? Don't take this the wrong way, but if the "hot meal" and awards ceremony follows the game then it'll be pretty late by the time we get home. And that would suck for us early Monday morning risers...

Otherwise, I guess 2pm is why the $100 registration was so cheap... ;)

Hi Mepoor, 1pm was our tentative time if we were going to go off double tee's but since we have 144 people, we're definately shot gunning and Angus will only shotgun at 2pm so that they can get a full morning schedule off.
The BBQ Lunch will be served before the tournament so it won't be that late. Everything should be over by 830-9pm.

[SnoopyGolf]

Seeing as how we're on the same team and you've seen me golf, you better hope and pray that I get to tee off from the front tees. :help: :rofl: .



Hey Snoopy, you're not trying to tee off from the front tees are you?:rofl:

[Focker Singh]

I might be wrong but I'm just giving a worst case scenerio. 2pm shotgun and a 5hr round will mean 7pm. Present awards to winning teams and handing out some prizes will take roughly an 1hr. If you have a long drive, you don't have to stay till the end, just gives everyone else a better chance at the awesome prizes! :D

[Titan]

What does the waiting list look like? Just courious if anyone has backed out yet. When will the people on the waiting list find out.

Man this suspense is killing me.

Hmm.. giving that the registration is closed does that mean us guys on the waiting list are out of luck? Or is their still a glimmer of hope?
