The 2017 SIR State Team Golf Championship is scheduled for Monday, August 14th, at Rancho Solano GC in Fairfield. Our Area 29 qualifier (which determines who advances to Rancho Solano) is being held this month on May 25th, 9:00 AM at Pheasant Run.
Rules for the Championship can be found at the SIR State Golf link. Click on the main page, then on State Golf Manual, pages 13-16. Each of our Area 29 SIR Branches can enter as many 4 man scramble teams that they want for our qualifier using the following guidelines:
1) Each player must have a current SIR NCGA handicap.
2) Each team will consist of an A-B-C-D player within the following index limits (using the MAY 1st index):
‘A’ player index limits - 0 to 17.0
‘B’ “ “ “ - 17.1 to 22.0
‘C’ “ “ “ - 22.1 to 27.0
‘D’ “ “ “ - 27.1 to 36.4
3) Each team’s handicap shall be determined by adding the following indexes: 20% of the A player, 15% of the B player, 10% of the C player and 5% of the D player.
4) During the match, a minimum of 3 drives each (tee shots) for the A, B and C players are required. The D player shall have at least 2.
All team entries for our qualifier at Pheasant Run need to be submitted to me by Thursday, May 18th. Each team captain (the A player) needs to send me the names of your 4 players along with their respective GHIN numbers so that the May 1st indexes can be checked for the A,B,C and D player limits. Team captains also need to let their players know that $3 per player will be collected at the qualifier on the 25th...said money then forwarded to SIR State Golf to help defray costs for the Championship on AUG 14th. There will also be the regular $5 buy in per player for your team to participate in the Branch 159 regular scramble event that morning (includes payouts for the 2 CTP holes).
