Tournaments & Events will be run by your Tournament Committee (for more info see next section) and governed by the Rules Committee (bottom of this page).  Both groups will be working to see that this is the best season ever for Saxony.

Biggest change to the schedule is to note that The Memorial has moved up to July and will correspond to our mid-summer BBQ.

This year we will have two types of tiebreaks - one for Stroke Play (like in the Weeklies) and the other for Match Play.  In Stoke play ties will be broken by score on the back nine (still tied? 6; still tied final 3).  In Match play the emphasis will shift to the last holes - who won last 3 holes, then last 6 holes, then back 9.  In the Finals of Majors, it's extra holes & sudden death.  Read the Tournament Committee's announcement here - Tiebreaker

In case you aren't familiar with these events, here's how they work:

- In the Opening Day Scramble foursomes are organized with roughly equal total handicaps.   Best net score of goup on each hole counts.  Also prizes for closest to the pin and driving distance/accuracy.
- Partners' Best Ball is a team event - pick a partner and using your best net score on each hole go up against another twosome in match play.  Strategic choice of partner is key.  Two Hams just don't work as well as Ham & Eggs.
- President's Cup is one draw for the whole club.  Using handicaps you'll have to get through people of all levels in your quest for the cup.  Again, match play.
- Club Championship is open to everyone - with a catch: no handicaps.  To give the rest of us something to do while Andy wins it (again), higher handicap players can sign up for A, B, C or D flights.  There are no handicaps within a flight; it's match play, straight up.
- The Memorial is a new scoring system developed by Mr. Gramolin called "Fixed Score is Par."  Using 90% of handicaps points will be awarded for scores vs adjusted par: 1 for Bogie, 2 for Par, 3 for Birdie etc.. up to 6 points for 4 under...
- Closing Day in past was a scramble - similar to Opening Day, but without that wide-eyed, spring enthusiasm. The weather can be a bit rough, so this event is for the hardy.  Usually combined with the final Saxony Club meeting and officers elections for the following year.

Tom Gramolini is Chairman of the 2014 Tournament Committee. He is assisted by Ron Sanossian- each will also act as Tournament Director for an event.

At all times they will be supported by RichH & Woody.  And they are always looking for volunteers to help out -  Sign up below.  Responsibilites include communicating to members, establish pairings, determine format and awarding prizes.  

The Committee has been hard at work over the winter creating ground rules for our season.  The links below take you to their new Tiebreaker Procedures, the timing and terms of the Majors, as well as a chance to thank them all at once.

Rules are a function of the Tournament Committee. People interested in contributing to the Committee throughout the year should contact them directly.  This group is charged with defining the local rules for the club overall.  They are also available to club memebers as a panel to answer rule related questions or settle those quirky, off-course discussions.

The Rules Committee also works with each Tournament Director to set specific rules for his event.  Interested?  Sign up below or just contact them directly.
