GENERAL
A Men’s Day will be held each Thursday from the beginning of May until the middle of September (unless otherwise specified). All men with established handicaps are invited to take part. Please know your handicap when registering. Gift certificates or tokens may not be used for entry.
Golfers may play their 9-hole Honey Pot round any time after the Pro Shop opens; however, golfers must make their intention known and pay their $4.00 entry fee at the Pro Shop before playing.
Groups with starting times will have precedence over those who do not. Do not worry if you do not have a group to play with. Register in the golf shop and you will be worked in with another player or group.
The first 9 holes played (front nine only) by every participant counts as your Men’s Day Score and each player must play with at least one other person entered into the event. This means, if a golfer plays in the morning, either before or after the golf shop opens and does not enter Men’s Day he is no longer eligible to enter into Men’s Day later on during the day.
Golfers are responsible for reporting their scores to the Pro Shop before 8:40 p.m. Scores reported after 8:40 p.m. will not be entered into the competition. Please hand your score in after #9 or #11 if you don’t think you’ll finish in time.
The field is divided into 4 Handicap Flights: “A” 0-10, “B”, 11-15, “C” 16-20, and “D” 21-36.
Prize presentations commencing at 9:00 p.m. with all winners for the evening being recognized. It is not mandatory to attend the presentations on a non-sposored night. Sponsor Nights: Occasionally, the golf club has sponsored nights and those will be posted in the Pro Shop or by the first tee. Players must be present to win Sponsor Prizes – all other Non-Sponsor prizes will be kept in the Pro Shop to be picked up on a later date. If you are unable to attend, please arrange for someone to pick-up your prize. Winners of any draws that occur throughout the evening must be in attendance to receive the prize. The results will be posted the following day in the clubhouse.
MEN’S DAY HONEY POT
Each player will be given half of his handicap in points to start with. A 17 handicap would begin with 8 1/2 points.
Then, points will be allocated by the Stableford System:

The individual which accumulates the most Men’s Day Points (1/2 handicap + all Stableford Points) in each flight will win their flight respectively.
Ties for all prizes will be broken using the following format. An outright winner between two players with the same point totals will be determine by the individual who has the lowest handicap. If the players are still tied then the player with the lowest nine hole gross score will win. Lastly, if a tie still exists retrogression will be applied to break the tie. The player with the lowest score after 8 holes, then 7 holes, then 6 holes, etc. will determine an outright winner.
To help in the establishment of tournament handicaps, scores from Men‘s Day will be entered as a tournament scores when entered for handicap purposes. Competitors that do not finish a hole will count a maximum of 9 for that hole.
SPECIAL NOTE: If a player wins the longest drive or closest to the hole competition and finishes 1st or 2nd in his respective flight, the player will receive both prizes. Prizes are usually in the form of Gift Certificates. Tokens are also awarded for finishing in the top third of each class, excluding Gift Certificate winners. Tokens have a $3.00 value and may be used for club merchandise and services (may not be used for entering events).
MEN’S DAY TEAM GAME
Participation in the Team Game is optional; however, you must be playing in Men’s Day to also play the Team Game. The entry fee for the Team Game is $2.00 or $6.00 to play in both the Honey Pot Game and the Team Game. Once the last participant for Men’s Day goes out on the course the entire Men’s Day field (including those not entered into the Team Game) will be divided in half by handicap. A blind draw will pair players from each half, which will form 2 person teams. The 2 player team that accumulates the most Men’s Day points will win first prize. If there is a large field, second and third prizes may be distributed. Remember, the team that wins first place will divide the prize equally, provided that both are entered into the Team Game. If one person on the winning team did not enter the game, the entire prize will be given to the other person. Ties mean dividing the prize money equally.
