There are optional Team Skins available. Teams are divided into two flights for Skins. A low handicap flight and a high(er) handicap flight. Skins cost $20 across the weekend (and are available at the same time players complete registration).

 

Teams will be challenged with KP's at Par 3's each day. 

 

Teams will be able to purchase Team Mulligans Saturday morning before play begins. Each player is able to use 1 Mulligan each day (4 total). Mulligans cost $10/team.

 

Players will also be able to purchase Raffle and 50/50 tickets across the weekend. All money goes towards the event prize table.

 

Prize Distribution: 

Prizes distributed 33% Gross, 66% Net

 

Tees:

Men - White Tees, Women - Red Tees

 

Handicap:

Players need a current Golf Canada Handicap to be eligible for prizes in the Net Division. Registration requires your current index. The Pro Shop will freeze all players indexes prior to completing the 1st round draw. 

 

Pairings: 

To ensure the integrity of the event, and to promote the social aspect, (meeting your new best friends for life), the Pro Shop will draw playing partners each day. We will make the best effort to keep similar playing handicaps together. 

 

Shotgun Start:

  • Saturday     1:30pm     
  • Sunday        8:30am

 

The draw for the first round takes place a few days before the event and will be emailed to all competitors, as well as posted in this Tournament Portal.

The draw for the second round takes place Saturday evening and will again be emailed and posted, along with Day 1 scores and winners.

 

Power Carts:

Carts are available for the tournament. They can be purchased as a whole cart or by cart seat at Registration.

 

Push Carts:

Rental Push Carts are available for rent. We have a fleet of 30. For players bringing their own push carts, unfortunately due to limited space in our building we have no space to store them during your stay.

 

Pace of Play:

Each competitor that enters this and other events hopes for good pace of play. This format lends itself to good pace with only two balls being holed out on each green. We do however request that players do ALL they can to maintain pace with the group ahead of them. 

 

Practice Rounds:

Practice rounds can be reserved for each of the seven days before the tournament at a discounted rate of just $60. Regular rate is $99-$119 May-September.

 

Pro Shop Discounts:

During Tournament Weekend, competitors will be offered the same discounts that Storey Creek Members receive:

  • 20% off Clothing and Headwear
  • 15% off Shoes and Gloves
  • 10% off Equipment, Balls, Carts, Bags and Miscellaneous items

 

Meals:

Players will receive a meal after their round on both Saturday and Sunday. Our F&B Manager, Marty Smith will send menus out in advance of tournament weekend. For those with dietary concerns please contact Marty and advise so we can prepare you suitable meals. To email Marty CLICK HERE.

 

Refund:

In organising the four major tournaments we stage at Storey Creek each year, the Mixed, the Crystal, the Generations Cup and the Labour Day, each event suffers from a large percentage of withdrawals over the final few days. This can throw the finalised draw into disarray. Food costs, Green fees costs and Admin costs also occur. Like last year, we have a late cancellation program in place. Please advise your playing partner.

 

  • 95% Refund if Team cancels 30 days or more before event start date.
  • 75% Refund if Team cancels 7 days to 29 days before event start date.
  • 50% Refund if Team cancels less than 7 days before event start date.

 

Warm Up Basket:

All players receive a complimentary warm up basket before play begins both Saturday and Sunday.
