2017 Bob Riffle Golf Classic

On May 6, 2017, Council #10462 will be presenting the 9th annual golf scramble with the 2017 Bob Riffle Golf Classic. We are excited to that our new host the next two years will be North Shore Golf Club in Orlando, FL.

North Shore Golf Club is located just minutes from the Orlando International Airport off of the Moss Park Road exit from SR 417. Designed by Mike Dasher, this 18-hole course presents two different style nines that incorporates indigenous wetlands and active wildlife that will provide spectacular views and a unique golf experience for all skill levels. Priding themselves on their excellent course conditions that would rival any in central Florida, you do not want to miss the opportunity to play this gem.

When You Arrive

You may choose to drop your golf bag off at the bag drop or park and bring it up. Please report to the check-in tent. At that time, the hole number you will begin on will be provided to you. Goodie bags will either be provided to you once we confirm your presence or will be waiting for you at your cart with your cart sheet. For those who made arrangements to pay the registration fee at the course, wish to purchase mulligans or purchase guest lunches, you may do so at this time. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, credit cards and checks made payable to Knights of Columbus, Council #10462. Each registrant will receive a registration card that will include their auction number.

Purchasing Mulligans

Mulligans will be available for purchase at a cost of $5 each or three (3) for $10. Golfers can purchase more than three if they so choose (4 for $15, 6 for $20, etc.). A mulligan is simply a do-over of a shot. It can be used at any time on the course and may be transferable to other players within your group. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, credit cards and checks made payable to Knights of Columbus, Council #10462.

Purchasing Guest Lunches

For those who wish to bring a family member or friend to lunch, guest lunches are available purchase. Please let our coordinator know how many guests will be joining us for lunch. The cost per guest lunch is $40 each. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, credit cards and checks made payable to Knights of Columbus, Council #10462.

Practice Facilities

Once checked in, you are welcome to warm up at the practice facility across the street from the clubhouse. You will find a putting green, an area to practice chipping and sand shots, and also a driving range. We need all golfers to return to their carts 20 minutes prior to the shotgun start.

Announcements

We expect to start announcements including rules for the golf event and a pre-event prayer to begin 15 minutes prior to the shotgun start. At times, there may be changes to some of the rules, course conditions and other facilities that the course management will need to discuss with our attendees. To ensure that we start on time, please make sure that each golfer is at their cart at this time.

Shotgun Start

Following announcements, we expect that all groups will be escorted to their respective holes at about 5-10 minutes prior to shotgun start. Once groups arrive to their respective holes, group A will tee off first followed by group B (if one exists). All of the men will be playing from the white tees (or as discussed during announcements), and all of the women will be playing the red tees. Please maintain pace of play out of respect to the golfers behind you and to ensure completion of the round in a reasonable amount of time.

Scoring

Each cart will have a golf score card with a cart sheet. Instructions will be placed on the cart sheet and must be followed unless otherwise discussed during the announcements. The maximum score for each hole is one-over par (+1) or a bogey. Thus, if no players on a team are able to complete a shot for par, then all players on their team must pick up their ball and entering a score of one-over for that hole. In other words the maximum is a score of 4 on a par 3, a score of 5 on a par 4 and a score of 6 on a par 5. Following the round, each card must be turned in for the score to count. The tie-breaker for each hole will begin with the lowest handicap holes (or most difficult) starting with a handicap of one (1).

Using your Mulligan

A mulligan is simply a do-over of a shot. It can be used at any time on the course and may be transferable to other players within your group. Mark on your card whose mulligan was used when used so that you keep track of how many are left.

A golfer may play a “provisional mulligan” if the golfer believes the ball might have gone out of bounds but is unsure whether the ball lies out of bounds. If the original shot is found to be in bounds, the golfer then has the choice to either play it as it lies or use the provisional mulligan as their shot. If the original shot is then played, the provisional mulligan is then not used and the mulligan can be used for a future do-over. If a provisional mulligan is used, then one of the mulligans purchased expires and should be marked on the score card. The purpose of the provisional mulligan is to avoid players and the team from going back to play from the original location which will maintain the pace of play.

Challenges and Contests on Par 3 Holes

Listed below are the contest and challenges we have on our par 3 holes for this year’s event.

Two (2) Closest to the Pin Challenges: These challenges will each take place on a par 3 hole. Entry into the CTP Challenges is included in the registration fee. Each participant will take a shot from their respective tees with the closest ball to the hole winning the challenge. The ball must be on the green. This means that a ball that is closer to the hole but is on the fringe or ruff does not beat a ball that is on the green. Mulligans can be used for this challenge. If a mulligan is announced and used, the golfer’s first shot is thereby nullified. Winners will receive $50 each.

Hole-in-One Challenges: These contests will each take place on four of the course’s par 3s. Entry into the Hole-in-One Challenges is included in the registration fee. Each participant will take a shot from their respective tees at a distance no shorter than the required distance indicated on the cart sheet and must be part of a group of three or four. Any shots taken inside that distance or golfers who play as an individual or a pair will be nullified from the challenge. If a participant successfully hits a hole-in-one, a form must be completed with the signature of two witnesses. A copy of the golf card will also be required to claim prizes. Mulligans CANNOT be used for any of the hole-in-one challenges. Winners will receive a prize designated for their respective holes from the sponsoring company.

Men’s and Women’s Closest to the Pin Contests: These contests will each take place on a par 3 hole. Entry into the CTP Challenges is included in the registration fee. Each participant will take a shot from their respective tees with the closest ball to the hole winning the challenge. A participant can win if no one else’s tee shot comes to rest on the green. In this case, the participant must write his/her name on the CTP sheet and write “Off the Green” next to his/her name. If a tee shot comes to rest on the green, it will therefore be closest to the pin ahead of shots on the fringe or ruff. All shots afterwards must be on the green. Mulligans can be used for this challenge. If a mulligan is announced and used, the golfer’s first shot is thereby nullified. Winners will each receive a trophy.

Challenges and Contests on Par 4 and Par 5 Holes

Listed below are the contest and challenges we have on our par 4 and par 5 holes for this year’s event.

Putting Challenge: The challenge is located at the practice facility putting green. Entry into the putting challenge is included in the registration fee. Each participant will take two putts from a specified distance. Participant with the closest putt to the hole wins. In the event of a tie, the distance from hole on the other shot will determine the winner. If there is still a tie after two shots, then a putt-off will take place. Winner will receive $50.

Ball Launcher Closest to the Pin Challenge: This challenge will take place on a par 4 hole. Entry into the challenge is NOT included in the registration fee. The entry fee is $20 per shot. Teams may buy three shots (3) and get one shot (1) free (equivalent of $15 per player) which will also allow the team to putt from a designated spot 10 feet from the hole for an eagle putt. The participant who is closest to the pin will also receive a prize from Leaderboard of Miami. Payment will be taken at the challenge’s hole.

Men’s and Women’s Longest Drive Contests: These contests will each take place on a par 4 or par 5 hole. Entry into the CTP Challenges is included in the registration fee. Each participant will take a shot from their respective tees with the longest ball that comes to rest on the fairway becoming the winner. Similar to the CTP contests, longest drive can win with a shot off the fairway (except shots in a hazard or out of bounds) only if no other participant’s shot comes to rest on the fairway. If this is the case, participant can place their name on the LD sheet and next to their name state “Off the Fairway”. Once a shot comes to rest on the fairway, all shots must also be on the fairway in order to be eligible for longest drive. Mulligans can be used for this challenge. If a mulligan is announced and used, the golfer’s first shot is thereby nullified. Winners will each receive a trophy.

Beer

New for this year, beer (Yeungling) will be served to adults ages 21 and older while supplies last as part of your registration fee. Once the supply is extinguished, beer and other adult beverages may be purchased by the customer through the course’s food/beverage area.

Guest Lunches

For those who wish to bring a family member or friend to lunch, guest lunches are available purchase. Please let our coordinator know how many guests will be joining us for lunch. The cost per guest lunch is $40 each. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, credit cards and checks made payable to Knights of Columbus, Council #10462.
