2017 RCC Golf Events
Golf Format Types:
The two kinds of golfing events scheduled during the course of the golf season are Match Play and Stroke Play
events. In match play, two players engage in a stipulated round of golf, normally 18 holes in length. A hole is
won by the player who puts the ball in the least number of strokes. If each player takes the same number of
strokes, the hole is halved. The player who wins the most holes wins the match. Stroke play, sometimes
referred to as medal play, the golfer with the least number of strokes in the entire round wins. Only players
with established handicaps are eligible to participate in club events utilizing handicaps.
Members intending to participate in Club tournaments must sign up in the Pro Shop by the posted date. Entry
fees will be billed at the time of the event. Match pairings and the final dates for the playing of matches will be
