Sign Up Today for RDGA Team Events!

RDGA Members: it’s time once again to get your favorite playing partners together and sign up for the popular RDGA team events – returning for the 2017 season and now open for registration.

This year, there will be three team events on the RDGA Tournament Schedule, including two two-person events for both men and women – and one four-person scramble event exclusively for women:

  • The 2017 RDGA Two-Person Scramble, May 6. Hosted by Mill Creek Golf Club, the Two Person Scramble is open to men AND women of all abilities, with men playing either from the Championship Blue Tees (6,570 yards), or the White Tees (6,153 yards) and women playing from the Gold Tees (4,879 yards). The format includes 18 holes of standard scramble stroke play, with each member of each team playing from the best of both shots, from tee to green, until the hole is completed. In addition to prizes for the top teams in EACH flight, each player from the lowest-scoring men’s team (including ties) playing from the Blue Tees will receive exemptions to the 2017 RDGA District Championship John H. Ryan Jr. Memorial at Locust Hill Country Club in July, while each player from the women’s team with the lowest gross score (including ties) will receive exemptions to the RDGA Women’s Championship at Locust Hill. Hors d’ouvres will be served following play while scoring is completed and prizes are awarded.
  • The 2017 RDGA Two-Person Four Ball, May 20. Wayne Hills Country Club hosts this year’s Two-Person Four Ball, which is open to men AND women of all abilities, featuring a format consisting of 18 holes of stroke play, with the lowest score from both players of each team on each hole counting towards the team total. Men will be playing from the Championship Blue Tees (6,638 yards) and Black Tees (5,587 yards), while women will be playing from the Silver Tees (5,100 yards). In addition to prizes for the top teams in EACH flight, each player from the lowest-scoring men’s team (including ties) playing from the Blue Tees will receive exemptions to the 2017 RDGA District Championship John H. Ryan Jr. Memorial at Locust Hill Country Club in July, while each player from the women’s team with the lowest gross score (including ties) will receive exemptions to the RDGA Women’s Championship at Locust Hill. Hors d’ouvres will be served following play while scoring is completed and prizes are awarded.
  • The 2017 RDGA Women’s Handicapped Team Scramble, JULY 30. Hosted by the scenic Reservoir Creek Golf Club, the Women’s Team Scramble is the only 4-person scramble on the RDGA schedule. Teams may come from the same club or from different clubs, and all levels of play are welcome – part of your strategy is putting together a team with the winning combination of skills and handicaps. You must use each player’s drive three times. Team handicaps will be computed using the standard USGA formula. Your entry fee includes golf, cart, range, lunch, tee gift, prizes and heavy hors d’ouerves after the round during the scoring and awards. Prizes will be awarded to Tournament Low Gross and Low Net teams. Prizes will also be awarded within flights.
