Definition: Blind Bogie

Before the round begins players purchase a Blind Bogie Slip.  At the finish of their round the player records the number their gross score, minus their handicap which gives them their net score.  At the end of the tournament, the tournament chair randomly selects a Blind Bogie Slip, and players whose net scores match that number of the Slip drawn are the winners.  All money collected is split between the winners.

Blind Bogie Slips can be purchased for each tournament day.  Two drawings will take place at the end of the Club Championship.

Where does your Raffle Money go?

The Social Committee is in charge of all Stardust Ladies raffles.  After each raffle, $20 is given to the club president to hold.  This money is divided and given to Tom (our monitor), and Mike (our starter) as a Thank You at Christmas time.

All other money collected is deposited in the Stardust Ladies bank account.  This money is used to pay the expenses after each social event, and towards some of the raffle prizes.

Scramble vs. Best Ball

In a “Scramble” format the players or designated team captain decide after each shot which one is the best shot.  Each player on the team plays their next shot from that spot; within one club
length no closer to the hole.The group then plays this way until the ball is holed out. The group takes a score at the end of each hole based on the single best shots from each position on that
hole. Some of the factors are longest drive, best position for approach shot, easiest putt, etc. So in other words if Player A hits the better drive, Player B picks up and goes to the Player A’s drive and hits from there. If then, Player B hits the closer iron shot to the pin, Player A would play from Player B’s position on the green until the ball is holed out. Each person on the team gets to hit from each position. Scrambles are more popular in corporate events where handicaps are not a concern; you are there to win, but have fun at the same time.
 
In a “Best Ball” format, each player plays their own ball throughout each hole. The team’s score for the hole is the lowest score shot by a single team member on that hole. So in other words, if Player A and Player B are again partners and one makes a 4 and the other a 5 with their own balls respectively, then the group takes a 4 for that hole. Handicaps can be used in this format to make it more fair for everyone. This format is a little more serious as everyone gets to play their ball for a full 18 holes; usually for the more serious of golfers.
