It’s been a long cold winter, but things are about to get a lot better because the official start of the golf season is here, it’s Masters Week!!!!!
The Somersett Men’s Golf Association (SMGA) is going to make things a bit more interesting with our annual Masters Pool.
- Pick 5 players for your team. Each day we'll drop your worst player’s score and your team score is the combined total of your best 4 players each day
- $10 per team (Entry fee has to be at the clubhouse prior to the start of play on Thursday, $5 goes to prize fund, $5 goes to SMGA)
- Sign-up by email to somersettmga@gmail.com or at the clubhouse with Stuart or Rick with the names of your five players (if you sign up by email, your money still has to be at the clubhouse prior to the start of play).
- Teams and scores will be posted daily at the website: www.somersettgolfandcountryclub.com
- See official rules and players list for full information.
- Once the teams have been finalized, we’ll send out an email to all of the participants with all of the teams and an update each evening after play has concluded for the day.
GOOD LUCK and ENJOY THE 2011 MASTERS!
- $10/entry ($5 goes to prize pool/$5 goes to the SMGA General Fund to be used for Men’s Club Events)
- You can send in your entries via email or at the clubhouse. Entries will be accepted by email up until the first players tee off on Thursday (April 7, 2011) morning.
- You can enter multiple teams, but each team costs $10.
- Get your money in to the clubhouse by the start of play on Thursday (April 7, 2011) morning.
- Pick 5 players for your team.
- Each day, the player with the highest score for your team will be dropped and your team score will consist of the scores from your lowest 4 players.
- Players that don’t make the cut will be given a score of the worst score for the day +2 strokes (Example: You pick John Daly for your team and he doesn’t make the cut. On Saturday, Colin Montgomerie (who made the cut) shoots 88 which is the worst score of the day. John Daly would then score a 90 for your team on Saturday).
- You can find this year’s field at: http://www.masters.org/
- If you pick someone who is not playing this week (e.g., Ben Hogan), your pick will be given a score of 90 for all four days and even if you win with four of your other players your team will be disqualified for having a stupid captain.
- Payout
- If we get $100 or less, then 100% of the prize money goes to the overall winner.
- If we get >$100, then we’ll pay out 30% to the leader after Round 2 and 70% to the overall winner after Round 4.
- Tiebreakers
- 1st tiebreaker: If any 4-person teams are tied after regulation, then any team (5-person) that has a player who is playing in his first Masters beats a team with no first-time participants. Also, teams with more first-time participants beat teams with less first-time participants.
- 2nd tiebreaker: If still tied after the 1st tiebreaker, then any team that has a pre-Tiger era (pre-1997) Masters Champion on their team beats a team that doesn’t have any pre-Tiger era (pre-1997) Masters Champions. Also, teams with more pre-Tiger era Masters Champions beat teams with less pre-Tiger era Masters Champions.
- 3rd tiebreaker, If still tied after the 2nd tiebreaker, the winner will be the team who has the lowest 5-person total.
- If still tied after the 3rd tiebreaker, then we’ll split the pot
