League play day (Sept. - May) is Thursday morning at 9:00 am with a shotgun start. During the summer months we play in the morning with assigned tee times. Information regarding tee times is listed on the bulletin board outside the Pro Shop or on the website (Tee Times button).
Sign up to play, (one week in advance only), in the Pro Shop on the sheet posted on the Ladies 9-hole bulletin board or online (Sign-up button). Games and tee times vary so be sure to note specifics on the sign-up sheet. Deadline to sign up is 3:00 p.m. Sunday.
Calendar: See Event Calendar link on our website for meetings, luncheons, play days, qualifying events, & tournaments.
Cost to play includes the green fees for 9 holes plus a $2 fee that goes into the "pot" for weekly winners.
Tee Times & Pairings are posted no later than Wednesday and are located on the website or the 9ers' outside bulletin board.
Weekly Winners: Winnings are redeemed at the Pro Shop with merchandise of your choice. Winners are posted on the website & the outside bulletin board.
To Cancel: Call Tournament Chairpersons:
Sandy Boyer 399-3076 e-mail sandraboyer1@msn.com
or
Joyce Barnes 207-6810 e-mail roy.barnes71@gmail.com
or
Diana Averill 393-0256 e-mail
averillp@cox.net
And you also must call the Pro Shop @ 393-5802 so your booking is canceled in the Chelsea system.
Frost Delay - During the colder months, always check for frost delays by calling 393-5817.
Arrival Time: Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your tee time and if you are using your golf cart, park it in the designated space (by hole #) in the Grill parking lot.
Score Cards: There is one official score card and the player whose name is at the top is responsible for marking scores. Additionally, the other twosome should mark scores on a QC score card to compare before finalizing. Score cards must be dated, signed and attested to at the end of each round before turning them in to the scorecard box provided in the Pro Shop by the 9ers' bulletin board.
New Members may play with their temporary handicap but are not eligible for prize money until an official handicap is established by AWGA. Updated handicaps are posted on 1st & 15th of the month.
10-Stroke Rule applies during league play. After 10 strokes you must pick up your ball. If we are counting putts and you've already reached 10 strokes, place your ball at the furthest point on the green from the flag and putt from there. Record a 10+ on your score card.
Posting Scores: Each player is responsible for posting her score. You may use the computer in the Pro Shop or the "Posting & Links" button on our website. This on-line method requires that you use your local number and a selected password when you register. Be sure to post the gross score and if appropriate, adhere to the equitable stroke control guidelines below.
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC): For handicap purposes you are required to adjust your holes' scores when your score(s) are higher than the maximum number you can post. For example: You have a 9-hole handicap of 10 at Quail Creek and that allows you a "posting" maximum of 8 on any hole according to ESC. However, on the score card you must mark the ACTUAL number of strokes for tournament purposes but after the round you deduct any extra strokes and post the adjusted gross score as allowed by ESC. The ESC guidelines are posted on the 9ers' Bulletin Board in the Pro Shop.
Monthly Meetings & Luncheons: General meetings are held monthly except during summer months and may be combined with the luncheon (see below). We really encourage your attendance at the meetings - rules are explained, upcoming tournaments are planned and it's a great opportunity to get to know others and learn about the league.
Luncheons are held for Special Events. To sign-up just deposit your check for the luncheon in the designated luncheon envelope by the 9ers' bulletin board in the Pro Shop. Checks should be made out to QC Lady Niners and cost is currently $14.50 - note that we try to play golf before lunch but it varies so be sure to check tee times.
League colors are yellow shirts and navy blue pants. Ladies wear league colors on the 1st & 2nd Thursday of the month. Shirts with the 9ers logo may be ordered through Alyce Mancini 648-7106. See the binder in the bulletin board area for ordering shirts. Navy blue visors are usually available through the Pro Shop and vests may be ordered in the fall.
Ringer Contest: Cost is $5 and the contest runs from January to April. It involves members competing against themselves to improve their scores on specific holes.
Most Improved Golfer Award will be based on a comparison of handicap scores from January 1st through November 30th. The award is given at the December luncheon.
Best Putter Award is based on play days from January through November that record number of putts. The award is given at the December luncheon.
State Medallion Award is based on the best gross and net scores over 4 indicated play days during the first four months of the year. The two winners (gross & net) are then eligible to compete in the State Medallion Tournament held in November or December.
Club Championship Play is based on low gross and qualifying is usually held in January over 2 play days. The winner is eligible to compete in the Robson Tournament of Champions (see below). The club champion also receives a trophy.
Robson Ranch Tournament of Champions is held in April and the Club Champion (see above) represents the 9ers.
Robson Challenge is usually held in January or February. 12 players are selected (3 in each flight) based on lowest net scores during the last quarter of the year. This event rotates among the Robson communities.
Birdie Pins will be awarded to members only once and it is for birdies achieved during league play. Subsequent birdies will also be recognized at our monthly meetings.
Sweetheart Tournament is a couples' tournament held in February.
Member/Guest Tournament is our major fund-raiser and is held in March.
Putter/Niner Tournament features a 9er golfer paired with a putter from the QC Putter League who takes over when the ball reaches the green.
Lady Niners & Mens Duffers LeagueTournament is held in the fall.
Rally for the Cure Tournament is a fund-raiser for breast cancer and is held in the fall.
Invitational Events are posted on the website and sign-up is usually limited to 4-5 players on a first-come, first-served basis. They take place in the winter/spring season and are a great opportunity to play other courses in the Tucson area, some of which are private.
_______________
Amendments: These guidelines may be amended by majority vote of the Executive Board at any meeting provided notice of the proposed action has been given.
