Coincident with the first round on the first day of May, the NFGA is proud to announce its May Madness event.
With five (5) potential rounds to play in May we are changing it up a bit.
At stake are two official, customized NFGA 2013 micro fiber disc towels. Though it has not been seen this season, it should be noted that there is only one such towel in existence today!
One towel will be awarded to the 2013 regular participant who brings the most new players or recruited alumni players out in May. A regular participant is anyone who has played this season. One point will be awarded for each round a sponsored new or alumni player plays during the month. In the event of a tie, the towel will be divided into equal parts.
The second towel will be awarded to the current or alumni player who scores the best round during the month as compared to his all time course average. As an example, if Schneider were to shoot a 68 (-4) he would obtain a score of one (1) point since four under is one stroke better than his all time average of three under. If MaT were to shoot a 60 (-12) he would also obtain one point since his performance objective is (-11). Only the single best round during the month will be counted for anyone who plays. In the event of a tie, a playoff will be held between holes 3 and 18 as per normal playoff criteria at a time when all tied players are present.
Additionally (and dependent upon committee approval) all play in May will be played on a “twisted†version of the course. All holes will be played as normal however, after the first hole, play will turn to the back and the normal fourth hole will be played second followed by the rest of the normal course. Then, after the seventeenth hole, play will continue down the course to the normal hole two (2), back up to three (3) and finally eighteen (18).
While not changing the actual course layout, this change in the order of play will introduce a new strategy and level of excitement to the end of play. Adding two potential but difficult birdie holes in between seventeen (17) and eighteen (18) will definitely add an extra twist to the end of the round.
Additionally, having four holes as opposed to two for the Clubhouse leg of the round will allow us to collect a premium over normal Clubhouse Level gallery ticket prices.
Polish your taunt, call your buddies and let’s have a kick ass May in the NFGA!
