Welcome to the Bent Irons Golf Club website.
This site provides members with the information needed to stay active and informed about club activities. The website was created using a WordPress template and later customized by Gary Staples and Mike Wolff.
You are currently on the Club Information page, which includes these instructions.
The most important section of the website is the Event Sign-Up page. This is where you can view upcoming events and sign up to play. Follow the steps below to register:
- Click on the Event Sign-Up page at the top of the website.
- You will see a list of upcoming events. Click on the event you wish to sign up for. The event location may not yet be determined, so check back for updates and details.
- Scroll down to “Leave a Reply.” In the comment field, indicate your status (for example, “In”). Enter your name in the Name field. You do not need to fill in the email or website fields. Then click Post Comment.
Once submitted, your name and comment will appear with the other players who have signed up. Your entry will also be time-stamped so the organizer can track sign-ups and plan the appropriate number of tee times for each event.
In the unlikely event that there are not enough tee times, those who signed up last may not be able to participate. For this reason, it is important to sign up early so organizers can reserve the appropriate number of tee times.
Please sign up by the following deadlines:
- Wednesday events: by the previous Saturday
- Friday events: by the previous Monday
You can view the list of participants by clicking the “X Comments” link, where X represents the number of players who have signed up.
If you are not planning to play, there is no need to post that you are out.
The other tabs are fairly self-explanatory, but it’s a good idea to take some time to navigate through them and become familiar with the information they contain.
We are also required to have a privacy policy. As the Website Administrator, I want to assure you that your personal information will not be used for any purpose other than allowing members of our club to communicate with one another.
Please note that the Roster and Finance Files pages are password-protected. If you need access, send me an email, and I will email or text you with the password.
The $10 Game
- The field will use an A/B division format once it reaches 12 players.
- The six players with the lowest course handicaps will be placed in the A Division, with the remaining six players in the B Division.
- If there is a tie in course handicap and one or more players must be moved from the B Division into the A Division, the handicap index will be used as the tiebreaker. The player(s) with the lower index will be placed in the A Division.
- If the total number of players is odd (for example, 13), the divisions will be split as evenly as possible:
- A Division: 6 players
- B Division: 7 players
- If the field has 11 or fewer players, the game will be played as one division and will not be split.
The payout for the $10 game will be as follows: ½ point for all Birdies, 2 points for all Gross Eagles, 2 points for all Net Skins, 1.5 points for 1st low net (including ties), 1 point for 2nd low net (including ties), and 0.5 points for 3rd low net (including ties).
