Entry Fee and Deadline
$155.  Deadline for entry is May 28th at 11:59 pm or when the field fills. 

Format
36 holes of individual stroke play using the Modified Stableford scoring system.  Overall champion to be determined from the Prairie Fire Division.  The event may be shortened to 18 holes if weather cancels either round.  Gift certificates from the host club will be awarded in amounts to be determined based on the number of total entries within each division.

Hydration
Colbert Hills does NOT supply or have any water coolers on the golf course due to current safety measures.  Please come prepared by bringing a personal cooler with hydrating beverages or use the cooler that is on your golf cart to get items from the snack bar prior to your round and at the turn.  

Divisions & Course Set-Up
Two divisions with Modified Stableford scoring.  Players should select their division based on distance of golf course they wish to play and type of scoring preference (see below):

 

  • Prairie Fire Division - any age, approximately 7,000 yard distance course, gross scoring only
  • Flint Division - any age, approximately 6,500 yard course distance, gross & net scoring

 

Modified Stableford Scoring
The Modified Stableford scoring system gives golfers points on each hole, based on golfer's score relative to par.  It is designed to reward players for taking chances to go for birdies (or better), as the reward for a low score on a hole is typically greater than the punishment for a poor score.  The golfer's score on each hole is added for the round. 

The scoring system operates as follows:
 

  • Hole In One: +8
  • Double Eagle: +8
  • Eagle: +5
  • Birdie: +3
  • Par: +1
  • Bogey: -1
  • Double Bogey or worse: -3

 

Practice Round
Practice rounds are available for $45 plus tax.  Please call (785) 776-6475 to arrange a practice round and identify yourself as a participant in the tournament.

Clubhouse and Practice Facilities

Carts, Spectators and Caddies
Carts are included for both rounds of the championship as part of your entry fee. 


Caddies are allowed for this event and the actions of the caddie during the round are the responsibility of the player (Rule 10.3c). This is the default position for caddies for Central Links events, but availability may vary from event to event or any other factors affecting this policy. Caddies are allowed to ride on and operate the golf cart, provided space is available. Central Links Golf has a strict two carts per group policy and the carts are reserved for the players first. If a group has more than one caddie, arrangements must be made within the group to accommodate the cart policy.

Spectator carts will NOT be available.
