Area 29 Qualifier for the 2018 SIR State Team
Championship (4 man scramble)

The 2018 SIR State Team Golf Championship is scheduled for Monday, August 13th, at Rancho Solano GC in Fairfield.  Our Area 29 qualifier (which determines who advances to Rancho Solano) is being held May 17th, 9:00 AM at Ridge Creek.
Rules for the Championship can be found at the SIR State Golf link.  Click on the main page, then Manual & Forms, then 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 currrent 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 Ridge Creek need to be submitted to me by Saturday, May 12th.  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 17th...said money then forwarded  to SIR State Golf to help defray costs for the Championship on AUG 13th.  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).
If you have any questions concerning our qualifier, please don’t hesitate to give me a call.
