Tournament Events

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: To be eligible for the Club Championship, Match Play, and the President’s Cup, a player must have an AGA handicap and Deer Valley must be her SCW HOME COURSE.   She also must have played at least five (5) Tuesdays prior to the first day of the tournament.


 

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP:  Flighted Tournament.  The pairings are done by the tournament committee based on player’s handicap (i.e., you don’t ‘choose’ your own foursome).  Overall winner is the low gross player after two designated rounds.  2nd week pairings are determined by 1st day scores within flights.  Additional winners paid down in all flights as determined by the Tournament Committee. Anyone playing on the tournament dates is “in the tournament”.  Handicaps are frozen as of the 1st or 15th of the month, depending on the date of the first round.  The tournament is flighted with winners in each flight.  The overall lowest gross score will determine the winner regardless of flight.  A Championship tie will result in a playoff by a 3 hole aggregate score (holes 1 thru 3).  If another tie occurs the winner will be determined by sudden death hole by hole playoff beginning at hole 4. Ties in flights will not have a playoff.


 

MATCH PLAY:  Pairings in flights of eight.  All players play all three weeks.  Winners paid in all flights as determined by the Tournament Committee.  A primer on how Match Play is conducted can be found here.


 

 

 

PRESIDENT’S CUP:  Flighted Tournament.  Winner is the low net player and can come from any flight.  Additional winners paid down in all flights as determined by the Tournament Committee. Fees for the tournament are the weekly ‘sweeps’ monies.  President’s Cup is an ‘all play’ event.  No need to sign up, anyone playing on the dates for the tournament are considered ‘in’ the tournament.  This is a net tournament and is played over 3 consecutive weeks.  Handicaps are frozen as of the 1st or 15th of the month, depending on the date of the first round.  Winners will be determined by the sum of the 2 lowest net scores over the 3 days of play.  The tournament is flighted with winners in each flight.  In addition, each week, low gross winners in each flight will be awarded. In the event of a tie, all winners will be paid for the overall low net, and also for the individual flights.  There is not a playoff or a scorecard playoff.

 

 

 

MEDALLION PLAY:  Sponsored by AGA.  Competition is open to all AGA Members on the Member’s course on a Play Day and will consist of 2 best gross and 2 best net 18-hole rounds out of a designated 4 rounds.  Scores will be posted as “T” score (Tournament Score) for all players.  Club winners will receive an AGA Medallion and qualify for entry in the State Medallion Tournament to be conducted in December at a designated site.  NOTE:  Play from Green Tees does not quality for Medallion Play competition.


 

 
 

ACE & ACES:   Players may participate in Ace & Aces once a handicap has been established and must declare Deer Valley as her SCW home course for the entire year.  Gross and net scores for all players will be kept each week.  At the end of each month, the lowest gross score(s) for participants falling within the 0-19 handicap range for the month shall be the ACE OF THE MONTH.  Net score(s) for participants falling within the 20+ handicap range for the month shall be the ACES OF THE MONTH.  All monthly winners compete on a Tuesday – typically – in December for the tournament ACE AND ACES OF THE YEAR.  All participants in the tournament will receive a cash prize after the two winners have been paid.  Participants do not pay sweeps for this tournament.  If the tournament is played in December, monthly Ace & Aces for December will carry over to the next year.
