2023 Opening Quotas and Rules

 

KRAKOW OLDTIMERS GOLF GROUP

Our Motto

To competitively golf with friends.

 

Tee times:  Tuesday/Thursday at Noon.  Saturday at 11:00.  Arrive 15 minutes early for the draw.

 

Purse:  Each player will pay $3.50.  $3.00 for the game, $.50 for greenies.  Exact change please.

 

Scoring:  Stableford-based.  Double Eagle, +8.  Eagle, +5.  Birdie, +3.  Par, +2. Bogey, +1.  Double Bogey, 0.   

                Triple Bogey or worse, –1.

 

Individual Quota:  Each player will earn a quota based on the scores recorded for his last, five rounds  Each new round will replace the oldest.  

 A player's score will consist of the actual scores recorded on the front, back and total, however, any score worse than –3 total will be recorded 

as -3.  No player will have a 5-round-quota greater than 36 (Even Par,) or lower than 20 (87, or 16 over par.)  We will have two seasons.  The 

Primary Season will be April 1^st through October 31^st.  The Winter Season will be November 1^st through March 31^st at which time quotas will 

revert to what they were at the end of the Primary Season.

 

Playing Rules:  Each player may either play the ball up (improving lie but not position) or down as he chooses.  But, the player must ALWAYS 

play the ball the same way.  Given the maintenance of the bunkers, players may rake and place the ball as they see fit.  Gimme putts can be 

conceded if properly measured to insure that any part of the ball lies within 24-inches from the cup.  Players are encouraged to mark their putters 

with a piece of tape that begins 24-inches from the edge of the HANDLE to the edge of the tape.  The flagsticks are marked, but using them to 

measure can be awkward and destructive to the green and cup.  Of great importance, turn your score cards and money in before you put your 

equipment away.  It speeds up calculation and payout at the end.

 

Each player will "Select his Tee Box" based on one of the two following methods: Age or Driving Distance.

 

Age                                                  Tee                                        Driving Distance Recommendations

49 and below                                     Blue                                        230 yards plus              6,200 – 6,400

50 to 69                                            White                                      200 yards                     5,800 – 6,000

70 to 79                                            Gold                                        175 yards                     5,200 – 5,400

80 to 89                                            Red                                         160 yards                     4,400 – 4,600

90 and up                                         Orange                                    >150 yards                    2,800 – 4,200

 

The primary purpose of the Oldtimers is to have everyone enjoy the competition and everyone to have the opportunity to be a champion.   

We all age at different rates and whatever tees we play, we are basically competing against ourselves.  FCCC will be moving some of the tees 

throughout  this year and the next.  The objective of theses new tees is to give greater enjoyment to us all … based on our own ability and based 

on what our capabilities are.  Take a look at the two “Select Tee Box" methods identified above and if you wish to move based on the acceptable 

criteria, contact Dave Dister and he will give you your adjusted quota. However, once you move, you must stay there.  Moving back and forth is

too confusing.

 

Charlie Johnson writes a blog containing your latest, up-to-date quota, plus results from the latest contests and anecdotes from the matches.   

So, if you have something you’d like to share, contact him with the background and he’ll include it in his write-ups.  Thanks to Charlie, the blogs 

give us even more enjoyment from our competitions.  You’ll find the blog … and, to repeat, your updated quota ... when you log in to Google or 

Bing or Yahoo and type Krakowoldtimersgolfgroupblog.  Charlie will also tell you which Par 3s are greenie holes.  One on the front and one on 

the back.  Changed monthly!

 

You won’t get rich.  You won't go broke.  You'll be an integral part of the fairest, every-stroke-you-make-counts golf competition you’ll ever play.
