Registration is open for the Tom Binney Flag Day Championship on Sunday September 27th. Flag Day is typically our biggest event of the year drawing over 100 participants. Every participant can enter a blind draw for Wanaki shirts, the number of shirts given away will depend on the number of participants. Thanks Jim and Wanaki!
Flag day is one of the most fun formats of the Men’s Club season. Each participant is given a flag with a number on it. This number is calculated as 60 + your Wanaki Course Handicap on the day of the event. Your Wanaki Course Handicap is dependent on the tees you are playing from. The flag travels with you throughout your round until the shot number corresponding to the number on your flag comes to rest. At that point you place your flag in the ground and continue playing your round. When the flag numbered shot does not end up on or around the green, the flag is placed at the closest edge of the fairway at the same distance from the hole from where the flag numbered shot rests. If it is near or on the green, the flag is placed at the edge of the green with a notation of how far the ball is from the hole when it came to rest.
The Tom Binney Championship is held in conjunction with this event. Participants will be divided in the Low Gross contest in flights making the Tom Binney an 18 hole stroke play championship At registration players will choose Open or Senior, with Open being divided into Championship, A, B, and C flights with Low Gross being the winner.
