Freeze Your Butt
2023 Freeze Your Butt
All Men's Club members will receive a free breakfast bun. However, free breakfast buns are only available until the shotgun starts so if you don't get one before the round, you will have to purchase one at your own cost. If you have dietary restrictions, please talk to Heather or Dave and they will do their best to accommodate you.
The tournament will be held on Saturday, October 7th, 2023.
This will be a shotgun start, tee time will be at 11:00 AM.
Entry fee is $30. Guests do not have to pay the entry fee.
Deadline for entries is Saturday, September 30th at noon. Click here for an entry form.
The game will be Net/Gross Par Points (1 point for par, 2 points for birdie, 3 for eagle, etc.).
There will be prizes for top 3 net and gross par points in each flight. Guests are not eligible for prizes.
1st Place = $100, 2nd Place = $70, 3rd Place = $50. All payouts will be in cash, not gift cards.
KPs for 2 holes on front and 2 holes on back, each within their flight. Guests are not eligible for KP prizes.
There will be 2 door prizes available so you can win just by entering and playing in the tournament. These are not flight based but instead there will be 2 grand prizes which everyone who enters is eligible for (your choice of putter from the pro-shop). Guests are not eligible for door prizes.
There are free range balls for everyone so please limit your warm-up so that everyone has a chance to hit a few range balls before we start.
The practice green will remain closed for the rest of the year.
Hopefully, we can run a rooks board. It depends on staffing in the pro-shop however. Guests are not eligible for the rooks board.

Leaf rule is in effect!
If you are virtually certain that your ball is in a collection of leaves and can't find it, you are allowed to replace without penalty. In order to be virtually certain, however, you (or your partners) must have seen it go in the leaves and have a reasonable expectation of finding it.
You are only allowed to replace your lost ball if the leaves are in the fairway or light rough. If you lose your ball in a pile of leaves that is in the heavy rough, bush or long grass, you are not allowed to replace your ball and must treat it as a lost ball.
Suppose, for example, if you hit your ball into the trees on the left side of the #3 fairway. You can't assume it is in a pile of leaves (instead of OB) unless you saw it rolling without enough speed to go out of bounds. However, if you hit it right of the trees on the left side of #3 fairway and can't find it in the leaves, then you would be allowed to replace it without penalty.
If you hit it into the hills on the left side of #7 and see it bounce towards the water and can't find it, then you would have to treat this ball as being lost in a water hazard. But if you hit your ball into the light rough on the hills on the left side of #7 and it wasn't bouncing towards the water, then you would be allowed to replace it without penalty.
If you accidentally move your ball while searching or clearing leaves from around it, you don't have to take a penalty stroke but you should replace it.
