Gentlemen,

I have spoken with you all individually about the Rougarou Invitational on Saturday, November 20th, at Berry Creek Country Club, so this will serve as a final confirmation of your participation in the event.

If you can make it, then please let me know so I can inform the club how many people we will have. If you can't make it, then remove me from your brain and pretend we never knew each other. I think we had a great time last year with a wide variety of playing abilities from myself (winner of the inaugural tournament), all the way down to Fred...who may, or may not, have passed out on the course before literally passing out in the Uber on the ride to the hotel.

See below for details, but let me know if you have any questions. As of now, I think we're close to 30, so this will help to get a final number.

DETAILS:

What: Da 2021 Rougarou Invitational

When: November 19th, 20th & 21st

The event is spread out over three days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday in beautiful Georgetown, TX!

Friday: Tee times around 10:00 - 11:00 if anyone wants to get a round in before Saturday. If anyone is interested, we can do a group dinner somewhere in Georgetown Friday night.

Saturday (The Main Event): We will have a shotgun start around 10:30. Golf will be followed by lunch/dinner in the clubhouse if you choose to attend. And, yes, it's perfectly fine if you want to bring a friend/friends.

Sunday: At least one tee time - probably around 10:00 depending on the number of people that want to play.

Weather:

The average high for November 20 in Georgetown is 68.

Where: Berry Creek Country Club, Georgetown, TX

DIRECTIONS TO BERRY CREEK

Cost: $60 gets your green fees and something for lunch or dinner (working out what that is with the club). $25 additional for the prize fund. $85 total. You will settle with the course the day of. The clubhouse has an ATM if you need it.

Pay the prize fund directly to me.

Lodging:

The Sheraton is nice, but this should be a list of hotels in the area.

HOTELS

Scoring:

Scoring will be taken care of via the Golf Genius app and will be available in real time for people to see. YOU will be responsible for your own score, so if you get hammered and forget to put in scores, then that is on you.

NOTE: I WILL NEED AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THIS.

Format:

After going back and forth - I've decided on a Quota Format. The explanation is below, but I think this will be the best format based on the varying level of players we have and since it will not be a team event. It's a pretty fun way to score.

I have a few of your handicaps already, but I will collect them again Saturday morning before we play. For those that do not have a handicap - we will have to make a decision on Saturday amongst the group to determine what an acceptable handicap will be for you.

So, what is a quota format? Well, glad you asked.

quote:
Quota Format Handicap Is Subtracted from 36, Golfers Begin at Zero

The points earned per hole are the same in this version of Quota, but all golfers begin with zero points.

In this version, golfers subtract their course handicap from 36, and what remains is the point total they must beat during the round:

A course handicap of 10 results in a quota of 26 (36 minus 10). So that golfer is trying to beat 26 points.

A course handicap of 24 results in a quota of 12 (36 minus 24), and that golfer is trying to beat 12 points.

Again, the winner is the golfer who exceeds his quota by the most. If the golfer whose quota was 26 finishes at 30, he is +4. If the golfer whose quota was 12 finishes at 17, he is +5.

Holes are worth the following:

Bogeys - 1 point
Pars - 2 points
Birdies - 4 points
Eagles - 8 points
