You may bring a total of 16 players to the Championship.  Please provide a list of these 16 players who will be coming to Poppy Hills as soon as possible, so we can schedule practice rounds and prepare the Championship.   Additionally, please provide us with a complete and accurate typed or printed list of players from your club who participated in a match this season.  We need this so the championship plaque can be engraved.  We also need a list of players - with their NCGA membership numbers and  October 15th Handicap Index - who will make up your team for the championship no later than 5:00 PM on Friday, October 26th.  The NCGA will prepare the pairings.
