2021 Bob Riffle Golf Classic

On Saturday, May 1, 2021, Council #10462 will be presenting the 13th annual golf scramble with the 2021 Bob Riffle Golf Classic. We are excited to return to Rio Pinar Country Club in Orlando, FL, home of past PGA and LPGA events!

Located just minutes east of downtown Orlando between SR408 and Curry Ford Road, Rio Pinar was host of the Florida Citrus Open that welcomed legends including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Designed by Mark Mahannah and Lloyd Clifton, this challenging 18-hole course incorporates indigenous wetlands and active wildlife that will provide a unique golf experience for all skill levels. Do not miss the opportunity to walk where many of golf’s greatest players competed and join us for this year’s Bob Riffle Golf Classic.

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 alternative arrangements to pay, please follow the instructions provided to you by one of our golf committee members. Acceptable forms of payment are cash (via group leader), credit cards (via PayPal) and checks made payable to Knights of Columbus, Council #10462 (via group leader or sent by mail).

Purchasing Mulligans

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. Mulligans can be purchased at the course or online at one (1) for $5 and three (3) for $10. There is no maximum for the number of mulligans that can be purchased as it helps us raise funds for charity.

Practice Facilities

Once checked in, you are welcome to warm up at the onsite practice facility. 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 blue or white tees (or as discussed during announcements), and all of the women will be playing the red tees. Players who have had a professional status within the last 5 years must tee-off from the professional tees (i.e. tips or back-most 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 contests and challenges we have on our par 3 holes for this year’s event.

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.

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 rough. 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 prize.

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 a prize.

Ball Launcher: The challenge is located at a select par-4 hole and is operated by Leaderboard of Miami. Entry into the putting challenge is $20 per shot. If you buy 3 shots, you get one free and get a chance to putt for eagle from 10 feet away. Winner will receive a prize.

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 prize.

Menu

A BBQ pulled pork lunch with premium sides will be served in Rio Pinar’s newly renovated banquet facility. Beverages will be available including iced tea and other soft drinks.

Beer

Once again, beer will be served to adults ages 21 and older. For this event, each player of age will receive one ticket for those beverages. Once tickets are used, beer and other adult beverages may be purchased by the customer through the course’s food/beverage area.

Guest Lunches

Although we will not be having a typical banquet, family or friends who are not golfing but would like to help us out in our fundraising efforts can purchase a lunch and pick it up following the scramble. The cost per guest lunch is $25 each. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, credit cards and checks made payable to Knights of Columbus, Council #10462 (via group leader or sent by mail).

Guest Speakers

At this time, we do not have a speaker scheduled for this event. It has become a tradition of Council #10462 to bring in representatives from the beneficiaries of the event to discuss their work in the community and how your involvement is helping in their efforts. Following the speech, the representative will field questions and also pass out information at their information table. Presentations typically last about 10 minutes during lunch. If we are able to schedule a speaker, we will publish it here.

Registration Raffle

Each paid registrant will be entered into a registration raffle. The drawing will be conducted either prior to check-in or while the scramble is in progress. Winner may receive their prize following the drawing.

Awards Ceremony

Following any speakers, we will announce the winners of the challenges, contests and the top three teams. Due to the pandemic, our donations, turnout and availability of prizes may be limited. We expect this to change in future events, but we will still award our winners as best we can.

Auction

During lunch, we typically hold a silent auction to help with our fundraising efforts. Items that we receive for our event our donated to us by our sponsors and other local or national businesses. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, credit cards and checks made payable to Knights of Columbus, Council #10462. We appreciate your generosity.
