LGC hosting medal play tournament today

After months without competition because of the uncertain weather pattern, the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) will be hosting its first golf tournament today.

The format of the game will be Medal Play Better Ball Scramble over 18 holes and shotgun start, and the action will commence at 12:30 hrs.

For the medal play format, partner handicap calculation will be 15% of higher partner’s handicap + 35% lower partner’s handicap. There will also be prizes up for grabs from first to third positions in the form of vouchers.

The team play will see both players tee off from the teeing area, they will then choose which player’s ball position they will continue to play from. Upon selection, both players will play from that position and then select again which position to play from. This will continue this way until the completion of the hole.

Also, teams must use at least three (3) tee shots from each player over the 18 holes.

All participants are advised to contact the club’s manager on the day of the tournament to collect their scorecards, pay their tournament fees, and proceed to their allocated tee boxes to begin playing at 12:30pm. Once on their respective tee boxes, players must await the sounding of the horn or siren as indication to begin teeing off.

Presentation of prizes will be held at the completion of the tournament at approx. 5:30pm. All COVID-19 protocols would be in effect.
