For the fourth year, the Cove View Men’s Golf Association, in conjunction with the Cove View Golf Course will continue the Stubbs Insurance Cove View Cup. Patterned after the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup, members of the Association can play in a season long competition earning points, and culminating in the crowning of a Cove View Cup Champion.

Every year the Stubbs Insurance Cove View Cup makes some minor changes and this year is no exception. Changes to the Cup this year are the following.

• Three Flights (A Flight, B Flight, and C Flight)

• Using the course handicap the Flights will be broken down as follows:

• A Flight 2 and under

• B Flight 3-5

• C Flight 6 and Up

• The handicap cap is +2, meaning if a players is a +3 handicap, his handicap will be adjusted to a +2.

• Within each flight, all scores and winners will be net only.

Points will be earned over a span of 28 events (23 weekly play events and five tournaments). Local handicaps will be established after participants have played one local 9-hole round. A player’s local handicap will use the lowest three of your last six 9-hole rounds. This local handicap will be used in all five-association tournaments. Players will retain their handicaps from the 2019 season.  Players will need to establish a local handicap from their respective tees in order to play in the tournaments. In order to play for Cup Points in the Club Championship, you will need to play in at least 4 weekly events throughout the season. 

Weekly play will take place at the player’s convenience on Monday afternoon, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of each week. All players will be required to play USGA rules and must be accompanied by another Association member to verify their score. If there is a question as to the rules, members will play a provisional ball and golf course management will issue a ruling. 

All putts will need to be holed out. No putts can be given in the Cup.  

Players will be limited to a max of three rounds per week . Only the lowest score will be submitted for points.  A cup Scorecard will be provided from the counter in the Pro Shop. Scorecards must be signed by you, and attested by another and turned in immediately after completion of each round. 

Tee boxes will be based on age and handicap.  All participants 60 years old to 70 years old may play from the white tees.  All participants 70-74 may play from the yellow tees. All participants 75+ may play from the red tees.  Any player who has a local handicap of 3 and above has the option to play from the white tees. All other players will play from the blue tees.

Cost is minimal with $5 paid to participate in each round. $4 will be returned in prize money each week and $1 will be added to the purse for the Cove View Cup at the end of the year. For those who would want to participate, there is an option to pay and additional $2 for a skins game. Participation in each of the five tournaments will cost $20 and $100 from each tournament’s entry-fees will go to the Cup. Membership in the association cost $30 with money used to increase payouts at tournaments and help with projects around the Golf Course.  $5 from the association fees will fund a hole-in-one pot. At the end of the year, the pot will be given to the person(s) that made a hole in one. If more than one person made a hole in one, the pot will be split evenly. If a hole in one is not made throughout the season of the Cove View Cup, the money will be added to the final season payout. All participants will need to pay their association fees before their event played in Stubbs Insurance Cove View Cup.

When weekly entrance money has been paid, you must immediately start the round on hole 1 or 10. No practice on holes of the cup after money is paid per USGA and local rules.
