Our primary goal is to make you forget about how amazing the golf aspect of the tournament is, and to have you go home with the mem-ories of an over the top food and beverage extravaganza. I hope you all play well this week-end and if you don't you will at least know that you were taken care of in every way imagina-ble. Don’t forget to use your first aid kit if necessary. It’s just a little gift from our food and beverage team. Good Luck to all of you and we look forward to having you at Carmel!

THURSDAY STAG NIGHT ACTIVITIES

BREAK THE GLASS

PUTTING CONTEST

 

  

FORMAT 9-Hole Match Around

Match Play tournament with six (6) teams in each flight. Flights are determined by total handicap index of each team. Matches to be played using 100% of handicaps. Maximum 36 Handicap for 18 holes and Maximum 18 handicap for 9 holes.

Each team will play five 9-hole matches, stroking off the low ball. In each match the low-est handicap contestant will play at scratch – others receiving one-half the difference be-tween their handicap and his. Should this difference be an odd number, half strokes will be used. For example, with 3 ½ strokes, the player would receive 3 full shots on the first three stroke holes and ½ shot on the fourth stroke hole.

Teams winning a hole get 1 point.

Teams that halve a hole get ½ a point.

Teams losing a hole get 0 points.

The total points that can be earned in each 9-hole match is 9.

Matches must adhere to a time schedule. If a team is not on time, the opponents will tee off and play against par until the other team shows. If only one player is present, he will play as the team until his partner shows. 

 

Flight winners will be determined by total points over the 5 nine hole matches. The Member-Guest Champion will be determined by taking all flight winners to the course for a shoot-out. All 18 Division Winners will proceed to #18 South for the Shootout. This will be a closest to the pin contest, where all 36 participants will hit one shot from tees de-termined by handicap strength. Within each one of the Major Championships one team will advance to the next stage of the Shootout. The closest shot from the Masters (Flights 1-4), the US Open (Flights 5-9), the British Open (Flights 10-14) and the PGA Champion-ship (Flights 15-18) will then play #18 South as a Par 5. This will be done in alternate shot format also playing from tees determined by handicap strength. The lowest team score will be crowned the 2012 Overall Member Guest Champion. In the case of a tie the teams will go to the 100 yard marker and have a closest to the pin to determine the winner.

   

METHOD OF BREAKING TIES

If a tie exists after all matches are completed the following criteria will be used to deter-mine the Flight Winner and Runner-Up:

1. Head to Head Points

2. Points against the top team not involved in the tie

3. Points in the 5th match going back

The Masters

The 1986 Masters Tournament was the 50th Masters Tournament, and was the first golfing major of 1986. Jack Nicklaus won his record 18th professional major with a historic victory in which he shot 65

(including a back nine 30) during the final round for a final tally of 279 (-9). At age 46, his win made him the oldest winner of the Masters. The win also gave him a record six Masters victories.

The 1997 Masters Tournament was the 61st Masters Tournament held from April 10–13 at Augusta National Golf Club. Tiger Woods won his first major championship and Masters Tournament by 12

strokes over Tom Kite. The margin of victory and four-day score of -18 (270) are tournament records. Woods also became the youngest player to win at Augusta.

The 1987 Masters Tournament was the 51st Masters Tournament held from April 9-12 at Augusta Na-tional Golf Club. Augusta native Larry Mize won his first, and only, major championship in a sudden-death playoff over Seve Ballesteros and Greg Norman. Norman had a birdie opportunity on the 72nd hole to win it, but fell short. Ballesteros was eliminated on the first playoff hole, and then Norman was eliminated on the second playoff hole when Mize chipped in from way off the green to win the tourna-

ment. It was one of the most miraculous shots (and endings) in major championship history.

The 1935 Masters Tournament was contested from April 4-8 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta,

Georgia. It was the second Masters Tournament, then still known as the "Augusta National Invitation Tournament." In the fourth round, Gene Sarazen holed a double eagle (235 yards, 4 wood) to tie Craig Wood and force a 36-hole playoff. This second shot at "Firethorn," the par-5 15th hole, is referred to in

golf as the "shot heard 'round the world." Sarazen won the Monday playoff by five strokes.

U.S. Open Championship

The 1982 U.S. Open was the 82nd U.S. Open held from June 17–20 at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California. The tournament was won by Tom Watson, two strokes ahead of runner-up Jack Nicklaus. Watson’s 2 iron at the 17th sailed left of the flagstick and tumbled into the gnarly rough behind the green and above the hole. To remind Watson to, at all costs, give himself a

chance to make another par putt, Watson’s caddie, Bruce Edwards, told him, "Get it close." Watson re-plied, "Get it close? Hell, I'm going to sink it." Watson did just that, securing his first and only U.S Open

victory.

The 1913 U.S. Open was held September 18–20 at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. It was the 19th U.S. Open. Francis Ouimet won as a 20-year-old amateur playing against Britons Harry

Vardon and Ted Ray. There was a three-way tie at the end of regulation play.[1] Ouimet defeated Vardon and Ray in a 18-hole playoff on September 20. Ouimet won with a score of 72. Vardon was second with

77 and Ray came in third with a 78. It was widely hailed as a stunning upset over the strongly-favored Britons. He was the first amateur to win the U.S. Open.

The 1973 U.S. Open was the 73rd U.S. Open. The golf tournament was held June 14–17, 1973,

at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. In one of the finest performances in tournament history, Johnny Miller fired a final-round 63 to win his first major championship. In shooting 63, Miller hit all 18 greens in regulation and needed 29 putts. Ten of his approach shots wound up within 15 feet, while five were within 6 feet. His score was even more remarkable given that only three other players

managed to even break 70 on the day.

The 2008 United States Open Championship was the 108th U.S. Open, played from June 12 to June

16 at Torrey Pines, north of San Diego, California.[2] Tiger Woods won his third U.S. Open champion-ship and 14th major title by beating Rocco Mediate on the first hole of sudden-death playoff following an 18-hole playoff. In winning the 2008 U.S. Open, Woods became just the second man, after Jack

Nicklaus, to win each of the majors at least three times. It was an unlikely victory for Woods, who en-tered the tournament considerably short of match practice and was plagued throughout the week by an

ailing left knee.

The 1999 United States Open Championship was the 99th U.S. Open, held from June 17–20

at Pinehurst Resort Course No. 2 in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Payne Stewart won his second U.S. Open and third major championship with a 15-foot par putt on the final hole to defeat Phil Mickel-

son by one stroke.[2] Stewart would not get a chance to defend his title in 2000 as he died less than five months later in a plane crash.

The Open Championship

The 1977 Open Championship was the 106th Open Championship, held 6–9 July at Turnberry, Scotland. Tom Watson won the second of his five Open titles by one stroke over runner-up Jack Nicklaus.[2] The two played together in the final two rounds and had separated themselves from the field under clear skies, leading this Open to be remembered as the "Duel in the Sun." This was the

first Open ever held at Turnberry, which renamed its 18th hole after the duel.

The 1953 Open Championship was the 82nd Open Championship, held 8–10 July at the Carnoustie Golf Links in Carnoustie, Angus, Scotland. In his only Open Championship appearance, Ben Hogan prevailed by four strokes to win his third major championship of the year. Hogan never played in the Open Championship again, although he did make a lasting impression on Carnoustie. The par-5 6th

hole features a split fairway, with the right side being safer but the left offering a better angle to the green. Hogan found the narrow left side in each of the four rounds, and that hole is now known as "Hogan's

Alley."

The 1930 Open Championship was a golf tournament played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England. It was the 65th Open Championship. Bobby Jones won his third Open Championship title by

two strokes over Leo Diegel and Macdonald Smith. Jones became the first player since John Ball in 1890 to win both the British Amateur and British Open in the same year. Returning to the Unit-

ed States with the first two jewels of the Grand Slam, he would complete the feat by winning the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur later in the year. After completing the Grand Slam, Jones retired from compet-itive golf and he never played in the Open Championship again. He remains the last amateur to win the

Open Championship.

The 1999 Open Championship was the 128th Open Championship, held from 15–18 July at

the Carnoustie Golf Links in Angus, Scotland. Paul Lawrie won his only major championship in a playoff over Jean van de Velde and Justin Leonard. Lawrie, down by 10 strokes at the start of the fourth round, completed the biggest comeback in Open Championship history. The event, however, has been

more remembered for van de Velde's triple-bogey at the final hole.

The 1984 Open Championship was the 113th Open Championship held from 19–22 July at the Old Course at St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland. Seve Ballesteros won his second Open Championship and fourth major title, two strokes ahead of runners-up and Bernhard Langer and five-time champi-on Tom Watson. In the final round, Ballesteros birdied the 18th hole to card a 69 while 54-hole co-

leader Watson bogeyed the 17th for a 73, which ended his bid for a third consecutive Open.

PGA Championship

The 1991 PGA Championship was the 73rd PGA Championship, held from August 8–11 at Crooked

Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana. John Daly won his first major championship, three strokes ahead of runner-up Bruce Lietzke. Daly was quite arguably the most unforeseen major championship winner in

modern history. He was the ninth alternate who only qualified after several others pulled out of the tour-nament. Nick Price withdrew for the birth of his first child and Daly hired his caddy, Jeff "Squeaky"

Medlen. Daly's outgoing personality and "grip it and rip it" style of play made him an instant fan favorite. The PGA Championship was his first tour victory.

The 2000 PGA Championship was the 82nd PGA Championship, held from August 17–20 at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. Tiger Woods won his second straight PGA Champion-ship and fifth major in a three-hole playoff over Bob May.[2] Woods and May finished at 18 under par to

set the PGA Championship record to par, later equaled by Woods in 2006.

The 1986 PGA Championship was the 68th PGA Championship, held from August 7–11 at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. Bob Tway won his only major championship, two strokes ahead of runner-up Greg Norman. The two were tied on the 72nd tee; Tway put his approach shot in a greenside bunker, while Norman was just off the green on the fringe, 25 feet out. Tway improbably holed out for birdie

and Norman's attempt to tie missed, as did his par-saving putt. Norman led all four majors in 1986 after the third round, but won only the British Open.

The 1997 PGA Championship was the 79th PGA Championship, held from August 14–17 at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, a suburb northeast of New York City. Davis Love III won

his only major championship, five strokes ahead of runner-up Justin Leonard. The rainbow that ap-peared as Davis was holing his final putt was fitting since his father and teacher, Davis Jr., was not there

to see his son win as he was killed in a plane crash 9 years earlier.
