Keepers Pinehurst Glenmorangie 2019
We just could not keep this out of the summer rotation, the Keepers Pinehurst Glenmorangie 2019 is our next full field event. This is a “Pinehurst Scotch” format that blends Scramble and Alternate Shot elements into an entertaining Two-Man Team Kompetition. You can choose your partner for this kompetition so go old school and make a few phone calls before you sign up. If you don’t have a partner sign up alone and we will find you a running mate.
The Pinehurst Glenmorangie will be played on Sunday August 4th with tee times from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. on the New North Golf Course. There is a team handicap calculated with the USGA Formula for these type of events and it is based on each partners 80% course handicap on the North for the tees he will be playing. Team Handicap will be the sum of 60% of the lower handicap partner’s handicap and 40% of the higher handicap partner’s handicap.
The rules are quite simple:
A. Both golfers on the team hit drives.
B. They walk forward to their balls, but then switch balls for the second shot. Partner A hits Partner B’s ball, Partner B hits Partner A’s ball.
C. After the second shot they compare the results and select the ball to play on, picking up the other.
D. From the third stroke on they play alternate shot, based on who hit the last shot they choose, until the ball is holed.
E. Strokes on each hole are applied based on the team handicap to get a Net Score.
That is the Keepers Pinehurst Glenmorangie-hit drives, switch balls for the second shot, pick up the worst ball, and play alternate shot into the hole. This should play rapidly if you limit consultation on the alternate shots to two sentences (which is more than adequate for players of Keepers ability).
As we saw last year, what is kool about this alternate shot version is that to win you have to play the Par 3’s well, getting two balls on the green to give your team more opportunities for net birdies or better. The 5 Pars on the other hand are high pressure seeing that they are shot holes where a net par probably loses a shot to the field.
In last year’s second annual Pinehurst Glenmorangie we had to tip our tumblers to the team of Marc “Bucket List” Birnbaum and Howard “Stogie” Wollner who squeezed out a one shot victory with a net 65 over three other fairly kompetent teams.
