Events and Tournaments

Annual Banquet

Traditionally after October Tournament.
  1. Dinner, (five dollars of the members dinner cost paid by club).
  2. October (2-man scramble) tournament winners.
  3. Presentation of Club's Annual Awards.
  4. Hole in One / Eagles, etc., if any.
  5. Club's Annual Meeting.
  6. Member's Drawing: Items have been selected from pro shop fees throughout the season. Members who play the required 4 tournaments a year get their name in the drawing once. Members who attend the Annual Banquet get their name in once. Thus, you can get your name in twice (increasing your chances) but you can only receive one item. If your name is in the drawing for playing the 4 tournaments and you are not present at the banquet you are required to have a representative there to select your item.

Dual and Special Tournaments

Dual tournaments are tournaments that entail playing the regular tournament format, as well as playing another game (side game) at the same time. Flyers and/or information sheets with additional information about these side game tournaments will be made available in advance. We hope to have side games (4 or 2 man best ball, logo ball, team putting, etc.) at 4 or 5 tournaments.

  1. Designated tournaments will be used to determine members the club will sponsor at the NCGA tournaments for Associate Clubs.
  2. The July and August tournaments will be dual tournaments. In addition to the regular format, members who qualify will compete for the Club Championship, (using 85% of their HC). A first place in this tournament will qualify you for the following year. Club championship qualified members will all play from the white tees (voted October 2017). In the second club championship tournament, typically in August, the leaders will play together (voted 2019).
  3. The September tournament will be the "Rider Shootout" (In Honor of the Club’s First President, John Rider). Instead of our regular 3 flight format, all members will compete in one flight. The winner shall receive a prize award. A first place in this tournament will qualify you for the Club Championship for the following year.
  4. The October (Season End) tournament is a 2 man scramble, with the Annual Awards banquet to follow. A hole-in-one in this tournament will be included in the following season's prize awards (voted October 2017).

NCGA Tournament Information

Our club members are eligible for four NCGA championship tournaments. The Net Amateur, two Associate Club tournaments and the Senior Associate Club 2-man Tournament. The club bylaws permit sponsoring eligible members to these four tournaments run by the NCGA. Each individual, once signed up, must be committed to the dates and sites involved, both to the UAL 32 Club qualifying and the NCGA tournaments.

See our NCGA tournament information sheet for date, times, and sites. This information is also found in the NCGA blue book.

All eligible members must have a current numeric index between +3.8 and 36.4 inclusive by the UAL 32 club qualifying tournaments. The UAL 32 club will submit all entries. Individual entries from players who qualified will not be accepted by the NCGA.

The NCGA considers those players who do not show up at the site and date and who do not notify the NCGA or the course assigned, a NO SHOW and will be suspended from play in all NCGA tournaments for one year. This policy can be found in your Blue book edition of your NCGA magazine.

The funding for the NCGA tournaments comes from two dollars collected from each golfer per tournament. The UAL 32 Club will cover half of the entry fee, which will be green fees only, to the NCGA qualifying tournaments. If a player advances to the championship round, the member pays their own fees (if required). Entry fees do not include golf carts or lodging. Golf carts, whether optional or mandatory, are the individual player's responsibility.
