Tournament eligibility
 
This tournament is open to all members of the Iron Thong that have completed 5 or more rounds within the handicapping system and paid their $20.00 semi-yearly dues within the last six month period prior to tournament date. You will be required to pay the difference of $25.00 minus the number of rounds you played this season.  That way everyone is paying $25.00 into the $1.00 weekly dues.

Skins and Birdie Pool
 
There will be the $5.00 Skin Pool and the optional $5.00 Birdie & Net pool open as normal - however the $1.00 Donation will not be required on October 3rd 2009. We "Require" that you Pay $5.00 for the mandatory Skins Pool, and an optional $5.00 for the birdie pool.  We will pay out all skins for this tournament - There will be no money banked from the skins!

Breakfast Tacos & Beverages & Awards Ceremony

The Iron Thong will provide breakfast tacos and drinks before the Tournament at Johns Truck. Food  & Beverages will be available at the The Hawk Golf Course after the rounds off their full menu of items.  We will sit outside on the back patio when we are finished for our awards ceremony.

Please plan to have an extended stay after the tournament for skin and birdie payouts along with the award ceremony.  Like all our tournaments we will be shooting digital stills for the website - so make sure you put on a happy face and your best golf attire.  We would like to add still pictures of the winners and wish "Everyone" to be there after the round.  This  shouldn't take much longer then a couple of hours.

We will also Require that you Pay $5.00 for the mandatory Skins Pool, and an optional $5.00 for the birdie pool (and/or) $5.00 for the low net pool.  We will pay out all skins for this tournament.

Flighting and Scoring

Determining Flights will be handled by our system and the Iron Thong will be split up into 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 for flights A/B/C on tournament day which is determined by our system. You will be playing in groups starting with the lowest handicap on up.  You will be assigned a cart and a cart partner based on your index on tournament day.  Your partner will score you and you will score your partner.  You will be scoring total strokes and putting strokes for 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 the tournament in an email so you know who to hook-up with at the course to eliminate any confusion. In the event of a rules violation or a question concerning a rule you "Must" consult your playing partners in your foursome and resolve it. Do not come back to the club house and expect a ruling!

100% USGA Rules Will Be In Effect!!!!!!!

Tournament Flow - How it Works!!
I know for 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 for you.  The Hawk will provide the tacos.
 
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.
5) Pay your difference of 25 rounds for the season
 
*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 Dramatically '
 
If you owe ITG Money or Dues you will be required to pay otherwise you can't play!
 
Once you pay up please pay the The Hawk Golf Club 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 #14.  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.
 
 
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 Steve Vanwert will be handing out all awards.
Good Luck!!! And Hit them straight and long!!!!
