2023 Alpine Bay (Member/Member) Results
We had 30 teams to compete in our Member/Member event this year. The format was a two day handicapped scramble. We used the USGA method of handicapping our field. (For a two person scramble take 35 percent of the A player’s course handicap and 15 percent of the B player’s course handicap). Our Calcutta was paid out using Day 2’s net scores.
Saturday’s round was completed ahead of a heavy rain that dumped .5″ of rain on the course in a very short period of time. By the time we started Sunday’s round the course had dried out pretty well and the weather was beautiful.
