2026 ShootOut
Date: September 9, 2026 @ 3:45 pm SHOTGUN
Why we have a ShootOut: To encourage our league members to engage in the league beyond playing each week, we established a ShootOut where league members earn points by participating in league activities. The 20 members with the highest points following the Top/Bottom event will qualify for the ShootOut. ut.
What is a ShootOut: 10 qualified players tee off on hole number 1 (for example) and another 10 qualified players tee off on hole number 5. Handicap (Bumps) are used for this event.
As you finish each hole, the player or players with the highest ‘net’ score of that hole, will be eliminated. At the end of nine holes, there will be 2 players remaining, one from each group. Those 2 players will play a playoff hole, the person with the lowest net score of that playoff will determine the ShootOut Champion.
In the event of 20+ players qualifying for the Shootout, more than one player will be eliminated on the first hole. For example if 24 ladies qualify, 12 golfers tee off on hole 1 and 12 golfers tee off on hole 5. Instead of 1 player being eliminated on the first hole, 3 ladies will be eliminated on the first hole to get back down to 9 ladies continuing on with the next hole. The goal is to get down to 1 person after hole 9 in each group to have a play off hole with the winner from each group.
How to qualify: Throughout the season, you will acquire points based on the following criteria. The top 20 players (and ties) with the most points at the end of the season will qualify for the ShootOut.
Point Values: Points values are assigned based on the effort/time commitment needed or to encourage league members to attend critical events/meetings. Each week, you can acquire points based on the following items listed below:
- 4 Points Being a member on the League’s Board of Directors
- 3 Points Attending a business meeting – typically 2 held each year (Spring and Fall).
- You must attend the entire meeting. For members that leave early, they will forfeit the points for that meeting.
- 1 Point Playing each week (Non-shotgun events).
- 3 Points Playing in a shotgun event.
- If there is an event (shotgun or non-shotgun) where we need to limit the number of golfers, no points will be awarded for that event.
- 2 Points Being on a planning committee (Spring Banquet, Fall Banquet, Garden, Rally, Club Championship, Match Play)
- Members will only receive 2 points regardless of how many committees they are on.
- 1 Point Donating to an event (Spring Banquet, Fall Banquet, Rally for the Cure etc.).
- Donations must be a minimum value of $20 and can be either cash, gift card, or physical item (golf balls, apparel, gift basket, etc.) Members will receive 1 point for each event they donate to but only 1 point per event.
- 1 Point Referring a new-member that signs up and pays league dues.
- Members can refer as many new members as they like, but only 1 shootout point will be given.
What do I receive if I qualify: Just for qualifying, you will receive a cash prize. The farther you make it into the round, the more money you will receive.
In the event of a tie: There will be a closest to the hole ‘chip off’ between players who tie with the highest ‘net’ score on any given hole.
Inclement Weather: In the event of inclement weather, the board will make the decision to cancel the league in which no points will be given for that evening. Inclement weather could be poor air quality, excessive heat warnings as well as thunderstorms.
