In an effort to increase the number of rounds played at the golf course and a desire to encourage a healthy spirit of competition, the Cove View Men’s Golf Association, in conjunction with the Cove View Golf Course, will initiate the American National Insurance Cove View Cup. It will be patterned after the Fed Ex Cup with members of the Association playing all year to garner points, culminating in the crowning of a Cove View Cup Champion.

 

 

 

Points will be earned through weekly play for 26 weeks and earned in four association golf tournaments. Local handicaps will be established after participants have played one local 9-hole round. A player’s local handicap will use the lowest four of your last eight 9-hole rounds. This local handicap will be used in all four association tournaments.

Weekly play will take place at the player’s convenience on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of each week. Play will begin on March 21st. 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. Cards must be signed by two (can be yourself and someone else) and turned in immediately after completion of the round. You may play as many times each week as you would like, but only your best score will be counted for the Cove View Cup.

Tee boxes are determined by age. Association members 70 and over have the option to play from the yellow tee boxes. Those 60 and over have the option to play from the white tee boxes and those under 60 will play from the blue tee boxes.

Cost for weekly league play is minimal. It is $5 paid to participate each round. Four dollars will be returned in prize money and $1 will be added to the purse for the Cove View Cup at the end of the year. Participation in each of the four tournaments will cost $20 and $100 from each tournament’s entry fees will go to the Cup. The cost for membership in the association is $20. This money will be used to increase payouts at tournaments and help with projects around the Cove View Golf Course. All participants will need to pay their association fees before the first round of the American National Insurance Cove View Cup.

As this inaugural season progresses, the Association may make minor changes as a committee to insure fairness along the way. Anyone not following USGA rules will be disqualified from the Cup.

Everyone can follow the Cup standings each week on line at the following site https://coveviewgolf.com and look under the men’s league tab on the menu. You can also view handicaps and weekly scores at www.coveviewmens.com

*The Association will also continue to sponsor the Wednesday night scramble for all who enjoy the association with other golfers of the community. Winning the scramble will not qualify points for the Cup but allows all to participate in a low stress golfing activity. The cost for this scramble will continue to be $12. Two dollars will be used for closest to the hole challenge.

As stated, Men’s association and the American National Cove View Cup weekly golf will begin on March 21st and continue until September 14th. The first tournament will be on April 1st and it will be the Jones and Demille One Man Scramble with points given to the top ten net and gross scores. Money prizes will be given for gross and net scores.

The next tournament will be held July 8th and will be the “American National Insurance Mid Season Tournament.” This will be an individual tournament with points again given to the top 10 net and gross scores. Payout will depend on the pot.

After 26 weeks of play the top 32 will qualify for the third tournament, which will be the “State Bank of Southern Utah Match Play Tournament”. This competition will take place the weeks of September 18th through the 29th. (Dates are subject to change.) Points allocated for each round completed in the match play process. Payout and points will be based on which round you complete during the tournament. Your match up in the State Bank of Southern Utah Match Play tournament will be determined by your handicap and your standings throughout the season of the Cove View Cup.

The last tournament will be the “Jorgensen’s Cove View Club Championship” which will be held on September 29^th and 30th. It will have the same net and gross payouts as in the past. The top 10 net and gross performers will receive points towards the Cove View Cup.
