2010 Ladies Sandpiper League Tourney Schedule
April 26th thru September 27th - Mondays for 20 Weeks
April 26th - Opening Day Shotgun Scramble 8:30am Shotgun
Each team member will hit a tee shot and the best drive is selected. The other team members will move their balls to the selected drive and all play their second shot from that location. The best shot from there in, until holed out. You must use at least one of each members' drives.
May 3rd - Low Putts
A popular tournament format or side bet. It's very simple: Keep track of your number of putts throughout the round. At the end of the round, total up the putts. The low individual or low group in number of putts is the winner.
May 10th - Barkies
Side bets that are won by a golfer who makes BOGIE on a hole on which she's hit a tree. Most groups playing Barkies stipulate that leaves don't count - the ball must make contact with wood. A double barkie is worth twice the bet and involves making bogey despite hitting two trees on the same hole.
May 17th - Stroke Play
Individual play, each player will play their own ball into the hole.
May 24th - Honest John
How well do you know your own golf game? Honest John is one of the simplest golf side bets and puts your predictive powers to the test. Very simple: Before the round starts, members of the group each put their name and predicted score on a piece of paper into the pot. At the end of the round, the player who came closest to her predicted score wins.
May 31st - No League Play *MEMORIAL DAY*
June 7th - Five of Clubs
Tournament where each golfer has to choose only five of their clubs to play the round. The driver and putter each count as one.
June 14th - Stroke Play
Individual play, each player will play their own ball into the hole.
June 21st - Hate 'Em
On every course, there are a few holes that give every golfer trouble. The ones where, no matter how many times you play the course, you can never quite tame those holes. The Hate Em' can be tournament format or just a betting game among friends, you get to choose three of those holes and, before the round starts, write down a par on each. A stipulation that usually (but not always) applies is that the tree holes must be comprised of one par 3, one par 4 and one par 5.
June 28th - No Alibies
Before the round, ladies pick a numbered piece of paper from a jar. That number will be good for free shots on the course. If you hit a bad shot, take a free shot and do it again.

Individual play, each player will play their own ball into the hole.
July 12th - Eclectic Tournament Day One - Club Championship -

August 30th - Disaster
AKA Trouble, is a points game in which the winner at the end of the round is the player (or team) that has collected the fewest number of points. That's because points are "awarded" for bad shots. Hit a ball out of bounds, that's a point. Points in Disaster can be given any value, and what earns a point can vary from group to group - it's up to you. But a common point system is as follows:
* Water Ball - 1 Point
* Out of bounds - 1 Point
* In a bunker - 1 Point
* Failing to get ball out of bunker - 1 Point
* 3-Putt - 1 Point
* 4-Putt - 3 Points
* Hitting from one bunker into another - 2 Points
* Whiff - 4 Points
September 6th - No League Play *LABOR DAY*
September 13th - Even Holes Only
All players will play their own ball into the hole. Add up total score for handicap; add up even holes for the tournament.
September 20th - Honest John
How well do you know your own golf game? Honest John is one of the simplest golf side bets and puts your predictible powers to the test. Very simple: Before the round starts, members of the group each write their name and predicted score on a piece of paper into the pot. At the end of the round, the player who came closest to his predicted score wins!
September 27th - Closing Day Shotgun - Florida Scramble
Each player on the team tees off. The twist is, the player whose shot is selected doesn't get to play that shot. Only three players will be hitting at each time except when teeing off. Do this for each hole until the ball is holed.
