with the lowest handicap on up. You will be assigned a cart and a cart partner

each partner. You will have a specialized Iron Thong score card for this
purpose. You will receive your playing partner and cart assignments the week of

Tournament Flow - How it Works!!
I know a lot of us this isn't our first dance playing in an ITG Tournament.
So everyone knows how this all works out here is a break down of what you
can do to make this tournament go smooth. And we all like it smooth, right?
Everyone should try and be at the course at 6:30am or there-about. We will
purchase taco's, approximately 2 each and an Ice Cold Beverage to drink.
Since the Golf Club of Texas doesn't allow food on their premises anymore we
will be hanging out at Big John's Truck handing them out.
While you are there you should pay up for the tournament. Mike Linares and
Jesse Flores will be collecting the funds.
1) $1.00 donation will not be required on tournament week
2) Pay $5.00 for the skins pool.
3) Pay $5.00 for the birdie pool.
4) Pay $5.00 for the low net pool.
*NOTE: Birdie and Skins Pool are not mandatory as is the skins pool. We do
ask that you consider playing in all three since it is the tournament and by
all of us participating it will increase the pot of winnings from $1450.00
to $1855.00 which is a nice size tourney for 27 guys!
If you owe ITG Money or Dues you will be required to pay otherwise you can't
play! Here is what the Treasurer says members owe.
Dan Vanwert - Owes $20.00 Dues + $2.00 Owed = $22.00
Johnny Martinez - Owes $20.00 Dues + $11.00 Owed = $31.00
Paul Garcia - Owes $20.00 Dues
Jesse Flores - Owes $20.00 Dues
Leon Mclin - Owes $20.00 Dues
Once you pay up please pay the Golf Club of
Texas for your round, find your cart partner and load up. If your cart
partner isn't there get your cart and wait for him. Hit balls, practice
putting and get ready to tee off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the round if you encounter a rules violation please consult with your
playing partners in your group. The players in your group will determine
the correct course of action. Once that is decided upon it is official. If
you are unsure of a certain situation - ASK your playing partners.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are grouped by Handicap, the lowest
handicap player will tee off in the first group on up. You will be given an
Official ITG score card. On this score card you will track your cart
partners strokes and putts. At the end of the round you will attest each
others cards once signed and turned into John Hernandez they will be
official and entered into the system.
*Counting putting strokes only count if the
ball is on the green. If you use your putter as an approach shot that is
not considered a putt. If you putt the ball off the green you have to chip
back on that is considered a putt. Once the first initial putt on the green
is stroked we count all strokes until the ball is holed.
*Longest drive - the longest drive hole is
Hole #7. You must hit the Fairway for this to count.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Players in the last group will be responsible for picking up
the par 3 and longest drive markers and bringing them back to the club
house.
Thank you!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the round please meeting on the patio behind the club
house. Check your cards, turn them in and get something to eat. Expect to
hang around for at least 2 hours after the round for the awards ceremony.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the Awards Ceremony we have some business to take care
of. All in attendance will be voting for a new home course. We have the
following courses up for vote: Please be thinking about where you would
like to have our home course.
1) The Hawk - $35.00 + Free Range Balls
2) The Maverick - $35.00 + Free Range Balls
3) Canyon Lake - $29.95 + Free Range Balls and $9.95 all you
can eat buffet after the round
4) Golf Club of Texas - $38.00
We will start to play our home course every three weeks - so
you will get to know it well prior to the next tournament.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Awards ceremony normally takes an hour or so so please
plan on staying afterwards. You never know, you may be the big winner. The
low net player overall wins the ITG Traveling trophy for 6 months and your
name engraved on it.
The President of the club Ron Boone will be handing out all
awards.
