  • November 27, 2012 Information From Al Spicer

      Over the past few years participation in our Tuesday games have been reduced dramatically to the point of non-existent. We believe there are several reasons for this including not always playing with your friends, the games not being flighted and possibly early tee times.

      Upon discussion with the Pro Shop they have developed the attached proposal on which we are soliciting comments especially from groups that are playing their own games on Tuesday and golfers who would like to play on Tuesdays. The SGA officers have reviewed the proposal and we are very much in favor of it. We plan on implementing it in mid-March 2013 but are very much open to suggestions.

      Your comments please!

      To see the Board's note in PDF format, click on: SGA Board's Note of Nov. 27 Regarding 2013 SGA Tuesdays.

      If you have any comments, comment back to anyone on the Board or send an eMail to: send mail to: Webmaster@NRCCSeniorMensGolf.org and your note will be forwarded to the Board.

    Thank you -
    Al Spicer

  • June 9, 2010 Information From Marty Gross

      We only have 9 teams signed up for the blue/white tees and 3 teams signed up for the white/black tee single elimination match play. I would like to cut the sign up off effective June 15 and have all matches completed by the end of August. If we don't have more white/black tee players we'll probably combine them with the blue/white tee players. I'll post the initial pairings on June 16 in the men's locker room.

  • Feb 23, 2010 Information From Tom Starr

      Tom Starr has posted on the bulletin board - and, passed onto us - this year's SGA-related schedule. Take a look at (and print-off, if desired) the following, if you have not already copied the bulletin board sheets.
      Note: I just spotted that the file-information changed recently. Sorry, I was not alerted about that. The change is: There is NOT an SGA-Tuesday event on either March 16 or 23.

  • What Tee Should I play? - Tuesday Tournaments

    In 2008 a discussion came up regarding the SGA and Tuesday tee-play recommendation/stroke adjustment and if there should be an age limit in such.

    The tournament committee has removed any age restriction and recommends that you follow USGA guidelines for our Tuesday events. Play the tee that you are comfortable with. Simply adjust your handicap as per course ratings. Generally, this means, for Tuesday events:

      100% handicap
      Blue tees - blue tee handicap plus 2
      White tees - white tee handicap
      Red tees - red tee handicap minus 4

    To contact us about this change, feel free to contact anyone on the "Contact Us" page of this Website either directly or by eMail -- or, send a message to: Webmaster@NRCCSeniorMensGolf.org and we will get back to you. Also, you may use this site's Discussion area (via the Website navigation at the top of each of our Web pages) for comments if you prefer that approach.

    Thank you for your cooperation and participation in our Tuesday events!

    The Pro Shop adds this comment to events that the club sponsors: They recommend that a player in club tournaments play from the tee where their handicap has (mostly) been established. The "mostly", I would assume, implies at least over half of your rounds played are from a tee on which you play during a tournament. I do not know if the SGA tournament committee feels the same; this will sort itself out over time and any resulting future discussions if the issue arises.

  • Miscellaneous

    What is a Reverse Shotgun?

    Since many continue to ask, "what's a reverse shotgun?", here's the answer:

    In a reverse shotgun, player groups are assigned to starting holes as follows: 1, 18, 17,16,15, and so on, through to the last group playing. Then, after the last group plays through hole 1, the course can be opened for regular play starting at the first tee. If only half the course is filled, the time during which the course would be closed to regular play can be as little as about 2 hours.

    Had the players been assigned to holes in the order 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., as in a regular shotgun, the course would need to be kept closed until everyone was finished, irrespective of how many were playing, which gives a minimum closed period of about 4 hours.
