• ​​The first major of the year will start on March 19 with the President’s Cup Qualifier. The President’s Cup is a handicapped match play tournament funded by the Men’s Club.  Members that qualify will be seeded in a single elimination bracket. The following rules apply to the President’s Cup:
  
  • Members must have participated in at least one Men’s Club tournament in 2017 prior to the President’s Cup Qualifier
    
  • All members will use their LI (Low Index) as of 3/15/17 for the duration of the tournament
    
  • The first match after the Qualifier must be played by 4/2/17.  All following matches must be played in consecutive weeks by Sunday.  Be aware that if you win your match, you may be playing every Sunday for several weeks.
    
  • If members can’t agree on a date and time to play their match, the default is Sunday at 8:00 am.  If one or both members can’t make Sunday at 8:00 am, the member or match is forfeited.
    
  • If weather prohibits the play of a match on a Sunday, all matches will be postponed for one week.
    
  • All matches must be played at Calimesa Country Club from the white tees
    
  • The member with the higher handicap gets the difference between his handicap and the lower handicapped member.
    
  • If the match ends in a tie, the match goes immediately into sudden death on the next hole and strokes are given based on the hole’s handicap. If a match is played during a tournament and members start on hole # 13, sudden death starts on hole # 13.
