What is the TotalGolf18 Weekly Series? We have designed a program for every level and age of golfer to enjoy a round of golf with friends while making new friends on the golf course.
We will be scheduling 30 weekly events this season that will count towards the Championship Standings. You will earn points based on participation in our weekly events and bonus points for special affiliated events which count towards your standing in the overall season series. Along with some of the best golf courses in the Charlotte area, we will be returning some new courses and new playing formats to the schedule of events. We will count all Point Totals towards your overall standing which gives everyone a chance to do well for the championship event.
You can participate in the point standings for a chance to earn an invitation to the CHAMPIONSHIP CUP, or just have fun playing golf with new friends. Contact the Event Coordinator and bring your foursome to play. We will make sure to put you playing together. If you need a playing partner, you will find a great bunch of players and always find a game.
What is the TotalGolf18 Championship Cup? The Championship Cup is a 54 hole point style event created for the top point earners of the Weekly Series. Eligibility for this event is determined by the Weekly Series overall point standings and played at the end of the season in late October. Each Pay4Golf18 participant must play in a minimum of 10 events to be eligible for the official overall standings. The top 10 golfers in the weekly series overall points standings will earn a spot to play in the CHAMPIONSHIP CUP. If a player has earned a spot, but cannot attend, that spot will be offered to the next person in the standings until 10 players have committed.
How do I register for an event? You may click on the Register button listed next to the event on the schedule or from the event description page. You will be required to provide contact phone number at registration in case last minute updates need to be communicated. Entry fee includes golf and cart. We provide separate rates for regular players and senior players. In some instances, the entry fee may be the same. We strive to provide a quality experience by providing the best rate to all our players to give you more opportunities to play more golf.
If you are a Senior Player, the first time you register, you will be prompted to pay the regular rate for that event. Once the event coordinator has confirmed your senior status at that event, Senior Players will only be presented with the entry fee for Senior Players. In most instances, the entry fee may be the same as regular players.
What are the event day rules of play? You may view or print a copy of the RULES OF PLAY. By registering for an event, you acknowledge having read these rules of play. Event Coordinator can provide explanation of rules of play upon request. From time to time, Event Coordinator will update local course rules as needed.
What tee box do I play for a TotalGolf18 event? Location of tee markers and course layout are at the discretion of the golf course operator. We do not request any changes to the regular course set-up. Typically, Regular men's tee for our events will be one tee box up from back tees at the golf course (6,100 to 6,500 yards). Senior men's tee for participants age 60+ will be two tee boxes up from back tees at the golf course (5,700 to 6,200). Super Senior men's tee for participants age 70+ will be three tee boxes up from back tees at the golf course (5,200 to 5,700). Once a tee box desgination has been played by a participant in any one event that tee box must be played for the remainder of the season by the participant.
See exception to tee box rule for participants in the optional Skins Game. Event coordinator reserves the right to adjust tee box depending on local golf course yardages and tee box placements. Event Coordinator reserves the right to adjust tee box depending on local golf course conditions and tee box placements, change of age, or any related health conditions that affect tee box played by a participant. Participants may contact the Event Coordinator regarding tee boxes played during the season.
What is the maximum score allowed per hole? In order to have fun and keep pace of play steady, we have a maximum allowable score of triple bogey per hole. If you have reached maximum allowable score, do not finish a hole for any reason or fail to write correct amount of strokes on the scorecard when completing a hole, you will automatically be given a triple bogey for the hole. No exceptions.
What is a Net Score? Your net score is your gross score the day of the event minus the course adjustment given to you based on your Score Index from previous Total Golf 18 rounds played. We do not use other rounds played. All scores and course adjustments will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
How do you determine Course Adjustment? If you have played in previous TotalGolf18 events, you already have a TotalGolf18 Score Index. If you do not have a Score Index, your first score posted in a TotalGolf18 event will be used to start your Score Index number. After playing in a TotalGolf18 event, your score will be entered into our Score Tracker, and all subsequent TotalGolf18 scores will be automatically entered into the Score Tracker for calculating your Score Index. We do not use other rounds played. Your Score Index is NOT an official handicap. Total Golf 18 Score Index will update each week of the Season Series depending on your participation in an event.
