Men’s Match Play
2023 Bakker Crossing Men's Match Play Golf Genius Portal
In 2022, Michael Hoxter was crowned as Match Play Champion. Making his way through the 64 player field, Hox battled Josh Frey in the championship match. Hox took the match 5+4 while Frey captured 2nd place. We shall see if he repeats in 2023!
Again in 2023, we will define one winner as the Bakker Crossing “Match Play Champion” of the year. Furthermore, in the true spirit of Match Play, all matches will continue to be 18 holes.
The field will consist of 64 players. Divisions will be created randomly and players will be seeded in each division based on handicap index. The winner of each match will advance to the next round until a champion is crowned. Consolation matches will be held to determine places and payout. 80% of handicaps will be used for all matches.
The entry fee for the Match Play is $20.00.
To schedule your match please call the Pro Shop and we will provide your opponent’s contact information.
Money Leaders
We will have $200.00 in bonus money set aside for the leading money winners for the year. All money won throughout the season during BCMGA events and the Bakker Crossing Men’s Club Championship will be totaled each week to determine the leading money winners.
