Battle of the Beltways
Saturday and Sunday May 27 & 28, 2023
Eligibility: This event is open to all members and players maintaining their handicap at the University of Maryland Golf Course.
Sign up: Players sign up to play for either the Orioles or the Nationals. Players must sign up by 5:00 pm on Thursday, May 25, 2023. Team rosters are capped at 10 players per team.
Format: It is a great day, let’s play two!!! Teams will be made up of players representing either the O’s or the Nats. Players may choose their team and the roster is full once each team has 10 players. A player from each team will be named team manager and will be responsible for setting the lineup and assigning tee times. In this event, each hole is considered one inning and nine holes will count as a 9-inning game. The 18 hole round will serve as a double header. The score for each inning will be determined by the results of the five 4 ball matches (ie…after all 5 matches have completed the first hole, if 2 teams tie, 2 O’s teams win and 1 Nats team wins the score will be 2-1 O’s after the first inning. There are no carryovers and each hole begins a new inning). For the Saturday games, the front nine (first game) will be played as a Scramble and the back nine (second game) will be played using Modified Alternate Shot. On Sunday, the first game (front nine) will be a Shamble (pick the best tee shot) and the second game (back nine) will be Four Ball matches.
Tees: Play will be from the Gold tees for men, Red tees for senior men (60 and over), Red/Green Combination for Men 75 and Older and Red tees for women. Players handicaps will be based on the format for that game.
Entry Fee: $40 per person and includes team paraphernalia
Tee Times: The first pitch each day will be at 8:00 am.
